HelpRe: Lauryn
in reply to a message by noisynora
I really don't like any name where a y gets pushed in rather than the original - and, presumably, less girly - vowel, usually e or i. It's like putting tiers of lacy frills on a toilet-roll cover.
Not that I even like Lauren, actually! But it deserves more, or rather, less. I am delighted that nobody so far has worked out a way of spelling Laura (one of my all-time favourites) with a random y. Long may it last.

How do you feel about Kathryn?

Grateful that it's dated! Also, it's a feeble attempt to prettify something that needs no help at all, but no doubt at the time it seemed trendy and therefore attractive. Which isn't the way I think, but many others clearly do.
I once saw the converse of Kathryn: someone born I'd guess in the 60s whose name was Catheline; she insisted that it had three syllables. Cath-uh-leen. I'd assumed it would sound like Cathleen - silly me!
