HelpI dislike it . . .
in reply to a message by anne
I feel uncomfortable about origin names (whether it's Cheyenne or Dakota or Roman or Scott) when the family concerned has no significant connection to the origin. Just my opinion; your mileage may vary.
I particularly dislike Cheyenne because the pronunciation makes it sound like you're describing a girl named Anne as being shy (Shy Anne). I've even seen Shyanne and Shy-Anne, which is just absurd to me.
So . . . no, it doesn't get my vote as a sister for Jewel.

Probably the parents wanted to be sure the name was correctly pronounced, thus the incorrect spelling.
No need, I wouldn't have thought, as most people recognise the word, and wouldn't pronounce it as, for example, the last name of the out-going U.S. Vice-President.
