HelpIt's not kre8tiv! (Edited to add a thought)
in reply to a message by CherryFrog
It's the Welsh spelling, and I think it's wonderful if you're Welsh. If you're not, then I'd steer away from it solely because, yes, the Y does look rather kre8tiv.
EDIT: Reading over the other replies, my hatred for randym kre8t--er, kre8tyv Ys has really increased. Many people seem to assume Martyn's somehow kre8tyv, just because of the Y... but it's the legitimate, correct male Welsh/Ukrainian form of Martin!
But by the same token, I must admit that, currently, I wouldn't use Martyn if my child wasn't Welsh or Ukrainian, or for that matter Justyna if she weren't Polish. The mistaken belief that these names are kre8tyv is just too apparently widespread. :-(
This kre8tyv randym Y trend has got to end imo, lest more legit names get lumped into "kre8tyvytee". Gah!
