HelpRe: Llyr, Lir, or Lear?
in reply to a message by maire
Gah I just love your naming style :) Freya, Ronan and Lir all in one sibset?? I die.
I looooove Llyr/Lir/Lear and have the same problem in deciding which spelling I prefer. I think....
In theory I prefer Llyr - It looks the nicest and is the most "legit" spelling.
In practice I prefer Lir - It doesn't look as complete but appears simpler to deal with.
But I dunno! Now that I look at them next to each other I think Lir might face the same sort or pronunciation problems as Llyr. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Ok, I do think Lir makes more sense phonetically and would therefore probably be easier for a kid to learn/spell.
Lear could be ok. I don't think the association with King Lear is so bad. But I wouldn't mind being named after a Shakespearian character of any degree. I just personally wouldn't use it because of how close in spelling it is to "leer"
