HelpRe: Co-worker named her daughter Kynlynn. Thoughts?
in reply to a message by Guest
My thoughts
That isn't my style. But I don't find it as annoying as others in the same style. I think Kynlynn is less annoying than Kynsey or Kynley.
I don't understand pronouncing it Ken-lynn but spelling it Kyn-. If Ken sounds just like Kin, I don't like the rhyming syllables. It seems hard to say.
To me Kyn rhymes with lynn, and Ken sounds different. I would prefer the sound of Ken-lynn over Kin-lin, for sure. But I would spell it Kenlyn. If it were Kenlyn, I might say it's actually kind of nice, for names in this style.
I would not want to have to sign the name Kynlynn in cursive; I bet it's kind of hard to do. Lynn's my middle name so I would know a bit.
The Y in Brylee being pronounced differently from the Y in Kynlynn bothers me a bit, aesthetically. The overall similar style of the names makes the combo a bit forgettable. But it does not sound actually bad. Brylee is much nicer than other spellings of that name imo.
Congrats and best wishes to your co-worker and her daughter, regardless.
