Have you run into a Teancum?

For those that are not up on your mormonisms, it's pronounced:

Tea-an-cum

An it's a boy's name.

But which one is cuter: Kayleigh or Kaylee?

[–] unknown1234_5@kbin.earth 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Kaylee, and it is readable using only English grammar rules (the -eigh uses rules from a different language like Sean does)

I am happy that here in Finland you can't name your child whatever you want.

[–] SnokenKeekaGuard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

'Whatever you want' would be a terrible name

[–] Evil_incarnate@lemm.ee 9 points 2 months ago

Yep, the government would say no to that name.

Brayden, Braxton, Bentley, Aiden, Axel, Keith.

[–] Kazumara@discuss.tchncs.de 13 points 2 months ago

Axel is the normal spelling around here (Switzerland), so I'm interested what you would have expected instead? Aksel?

[–] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago


What's wrong with Axel?

[–] Tja@programming.dev 8 points 2 months ago

You might dislike those names, but there nothing really wrong with their spellings.

I was at a medical appointment, and the (very cute) nurse was named "Kaelea" pronounced Kaylee.

I knew a guy so ghetto he got his first name as his Xbox Live Gamertag.

LaQuisha. I think there was an apostrophe or two thrown in there but I don't recall where or even the spelling exactly at that was ~26 years ago in highschool. I just recall the LaQ... There were several that I do not recall specifically ATM that seemed like their folks were trying to find the most unrelated syllables to link into a name. It was funny to me. It was a school in Tennessee designed for Uni prep that was supposed to uplift people in the surrounding poorer black community. There were several black students that acted like they always had a chip on their shoulder (aggravated, just looking for any excuse to argue or fight). These are the kids that typically had the most odd names. It was funny because I viewed them like the inverse of typical white trailer trash also present in the area but not at that school. The rednecks seemed to name all their kids some indecisive hyphenated name like Mary-Ann or Betty-Sue while the equivalently backwards black families went with stuff like Keishfonda and Quinmothy. Like y'all are doing the same thing thinking you're different.

I once had a student named Dominca. It was supposedly pronounced Duh-mawn-i-ca. She would get very irritated that people “didn’t know how to read” when they pronounced it doh-minca
