Kythe
What do you think of Kythe? Pronounced to rhyme with Blythe, and probably used for a female. I started thinking about it while reading A Wind in the Door by Madeleine L'Engle. In the book it's sort of a form of advanced mental telepathy. However, it seems to be an actual word, used in several different ways.(from Kythe.org) "kythe (pron. kayth): a Scottish word which means healing through simple sharing and togetherness." I couldn't find any more support for this definition.(from Webster's 1913 Dictionary) "kythe: (1) To make known; to manifest; to show; to declare. (2)To come into view; to appear." This definition was found in several other dictionaries as well.I like the sound and the meanings, and the possible nn Ky (KAI).Opinions?~ Cait

I like it, although my first reaction was that I wished it started with a C, but then I realized that it would be pronouned like scythe. But I like it. It's nice and simple.

I actually kind of like it. It doesn't sound too made up, and I also like Blythe.

Question...This is a technical question...not a name question, but how do you get that sort of line thingy (good term, I know), above your names (signature line), etc.? Lissa Hannah

"Let's go fly a kythe...I mean kite."I don't care for it (or Blythe...reminds me of the Noel Coward play Blithe's Spirit). It's isn't feminine, it's awkward sounding, and it's a work, not a name to me.Lissa Hannah

It's nms. The spelling looks creative.
I like Kai though.- Kitty
