Help[Opinions] Re: Identical local twins: Zy'Quez and Zy'Kuez
in reply to a message by blaaarg
Zy'Quez and Zy'Kuez? Um, wouldn't those both be pronounced as zye-kwez? How else could either of those spellings be pronounced, and why would you want to anyway? Oy.
Dorcas would be easily teased in an English-speaking area but it seems as though this is an African family, so perhaps they are not aware of that. Dorcas is still a hell of a lot better than her siblings' names, imo, and the name Dorcas bothers me a lot less than the sibset as a whole. I'm just glad they didn't name her Dosan or Dofan or somesuch, just to keep up the "theme".
I wish Ophelia was her fn, too, but her full name is much better than her sibs, imo. Is Connah a boy or a girl, I wonder--a feminine version of Connor or just Connor with an accent? :-/
None of the tryndees are terribly surprising. I see them a lot where I work, too. I just have to remind myself that not everyone has our "sensibilities" when it comes to names. LOL.
