It looks like a spelling young and immature parents would pick, and to think that the 'y' somehow makes it feminine is ludicrous. The pronunciation is still the same, and the name will sound very bizarre on cute girls and feminine women, but it will sound tacky on the more androgynous or indie girls and young women as well, and absolutely atrocious on women past the age of 27.
What's crazy is that people think adding a 'y' makes it feminine, while in Welsh names a 'y' is masculine (Bryn, Wyn, Alwyn). I don't understand why someone would name a girl Kevin, I find it very handsome and masculine.

This name disgusts me. It's a boy's name and should be spelled as K-E-V-I-N.
Ugh. This is an uglier spelling of the already ugly, obnoxious, and overused Kevin. It looks even worse on a girl, since it doesn't even sound remotely feminine. Changing an I to a Y doesn't always make a name feminine.
