Help[Opinions] Re: Knonsense
in reply to a message by Gingersnap
Why? They basically told you their motive when the said they "call themselves a Knation."
Just like many other parents who begin all their children's names with the same initial letter or sound, they believe this will help create solidarity among their children and make their family a more cohesive unit. And using "Kn" links in their mind with both parents' names, so gives them both a symbolic link to their children.
There were 61 boys named Knight, 20 named Knoah, and 187 named Knowledge born in the USA in 2023. Though none of their girl's names were given to five or more in the USA in 2023, there were at least five girls born that year named Knavi, Knightley, Knightly, Knoelle, Knola, Knori, Knova, Knovah, Knowledge, Knox, Knoxlee, Knoxleigh, Knoxley, Knoxly, Knoxlynn, Knyla, and Knylah. Any alternative way to spell a sound in English is going to be used by some parents to create new spellings of names.
