HelpRe: Does Mandy sound too nicknamey on its own?
in reply to a message by Kaesy
Sure you do, it just happens to be the wrong one, as alternative spellings are valid even in word names. Particularly if it makes it more name-like comparison to the word counterpart. I'd rather be a Skye than a Sky because Skye is more obviously a name than the latter.

Nope, I still think they're dumb. Sure they're "valid" in the sense that if someone is given a name, that's their name, but they're not good names. They look bad and very silly. And I think making a "more name like counterpart" is unnecessary and ruins the point to using a word name in the first place. And if anyone actually used the name Mandalyn I'd roll my eyes for a thousand years. (Skye is different, it is also a place name. That's the reason for that spelling.) I can say "your opinion is wrong" just as well as you can, but I won't, because I know what an opinion is.

Rosanna: disregard my recommendation for Mandalyn. Apparently Kaesy would "literally die" if someone broke her sense of normalcy with a variant spelling & I'd rather not inadvertently commit manslaughter because of someone's weak constitution of letter arrangement scandal. So don't consider my recommendation for her benefit & safety. namaste 🙏🏼

I just think it's a bad name it's Not That Deep. (Though yes I hope no one will consider using it)

If you really did roll your eyes "for a thousand years" I would feel bad for you and your lack of a life.

If I don't get a chance to use hyperbole (my favorite thing in the entire world) every single day, I will literally shrivel up and die

My middle name is Lynn and so once people heard it, I grew up with being teased by "Mandolin" like the intrustment. I grew to hate it no matter what. Now a days, it just makes my eyes roll but it comes up every time I need to sign a legal document. It gets old very quick. LOL!
