HelpRe: Karis.
in reply to a message by Eliora
I don't know as I'd call it trashy. To me a t4rashy k name would be like Kayeleighey or Kaydince or Karringtynn or Kyndall. I have to say I don't care for the name, either Carys or Karis, because it immediately makes me think of caries, or cavities. But it's not the worst you might do.
Although, if it's what your dad wanted to name your sister, it's kind of a stretch to say that using hte name is honoring your dad. Your sister *might* pull that off, but it seems like you'd be trying to hard to honor somebody and the name links you to your dad by only a rather thin thread.

No, he wants the name used.
His two favorite names - Joshua and Karis - were never used. He'd love it if I used them. Every time I mention them he gets excited. My first child would be Jonas Allan, after him directly, using Karis and Joshua would be a second way of honoring him.

I just wanted to add that I think that is so nice :) Its such a different way of honouring someone. My Dad doesn't have any names that he has absolutely always loved or he would consider his favourite names. My Papa has always adored the name Lucy which is also the name of his grandmother and wanted to name all of his kids Lucy and then tried to make all his kids use it but Nana hated it and no one else wanted it. Perhaps I will use it as a mn...

RoxStar, please tell me you do not know a little girl named "Kayeleighey"! That's so funny.
I don't think Karis is a trashy name, I just think that all "K" names that are deliberate mis-spellings of "C" names or are made-up compounds sound kind of dated, and hence have a slight trashy tinge to them. Kayla is no Kayleighey, but both sound kind of late-80s early-90s to me, because this is when the K craze was peaking. IMO.
Karis, while quite classical, is on the border of this because it's uncommon, and as an uncommon k name could appear to belong to the Kaylas when really it belongs to the Callas.
But these impressions vary from person to person - if you love a name, go for it!

I don't personally know a Kayelieghy...
Not yet. But I have run across every other conceivableand unconceivable spelling of that name and all the others I listed in the BA's. If I keep on reading them I am sure I'll find thoes misspellings too.
