Re: Ryleigh
in reply to a message by LMS (nsi)
I absolutely.... 'despise' the ley/leigh/lee trend. It's dumb. If I could choose one of those spelling, I'd say -ley is the most tolerable.
But also, a misspelled name looks messy, imo.
Something like Emmaleigh or Kaeleigh would look very untidy to me. The name looks like it's going to collapse. Other long names like Xochiquetzal don't look quite like they're going to collapse because they have a lot of sounds, and it can build up the length of itself because it has those sounds. But making a name longer with leigh spellings makes a name messy and longer than it should. Kelleigh looks like there should be more sounds in it that there really is.]
I seriously don't see how making a leigh/lee/ley ending makes a name more feminine.
So, as you can see, I don't like the name Ryleigh.
I hope my post wasn't too long. ;)
