Re: Karis.

RoxStar, please tell me you do not know a little girl named "Kayeleighey"! That's so funny.
I don't think Karis is a trashy name, I just think that all "K" names that are deliberate mis-spellings of "C" names or are made-up compounds sound kind of dated, and hence have a slight trashy tinge to them. Kayla is no Kayleighey, but both sound kind of late-80s early-90s to me, because this is when the K craze was peaking. IMO.
Karis, while quite classical, is on the border of this because it's uncommon, and as an uncommon k name could appear to belong to the Kaylas when really it belongs to the Callas.
But these impressions vary from person to person - if you love a name, go for it!

I don't personally know a Kayelieghy...
Not yet. But I have run across every other conceivableand unconceivable spelling of that name and all the others I listed in the BA's. If I keep on reading them I am sure I'll find thoes misspellings too.
