[Opinions] Re: Texas
Texyss for sure. I can see someone using that spelling in real life, plus the extra S does add a bit more femininity into it in my eyes.
Just by sight Texyss would look like it's supposed to be pronounced the same as the state more than Texys would. The double S would work the same as it does in Alyssa, Melissa, etc. Spelling those as Alysa and Melisa tends to change the y and i to an 'eee' sound, so I believe the same principal could apply here.
Plus when it comes to kre8tiv spellings, the more the merrier when it comes to over-decorative extra letters.I will say that Texesse definitely gives me 'child pageant girl' kind of vibes, too. I'd imagine the parent who gave that name to their child was trying to channel some polish and flair into that one.
