Those aren't "unisex", they're "boyish". Big difference. I didn't vote cuz I don't like boys names on girls. sorry.

My son is Cameron, so I chose Kamryn. Nice to see it with a K for girls. I think the C spelling is much more masculine. Here are some other unisex K suggestions:

Kellyn/Kellen/Kelen

Keiran/Keiryn/Keerin

Kyler/Kylar

Kori/Korey/Kory

Kodi/Kody/Kodey/Koti

Kristian/Kristiane/Krystian

Korson/Korsyn/Korsen

Kolby/Kolbi/Kolbie

Kayde/Kaide/Kade

Kayden/Kaedyn/Kaidan/Kaydenne

Kaci/Kacy/Kasey/Kasie/Kaycie/Kaicee/Kacie

Kelsey/Kelsee/Kelcie

HTH,

Ali

I voted for Karsen, but given how you spell Kyndall, I would spell Karsen as Karsyn. Very cute!

Kamryn would be my second choice.

I'm just curious why you felt compelled to respond to this poll if you don't like any of the names.

This poster (iluvkyndall) obviously LIKES this style of name, and she wasn't asking our opinion about whether these are truly "unisex" names or if they are appropriate for girls. That's not what she's unsure about or soliciting opinoins on. If she WAS asking that, I could see why you would respond and voice your opinion -- good or bad. But since she only wanted to know which of her selections we like best, I don't see how it's appropriate to express your dislike of all the names. And tacking "sorry" on to the end of your post does not make the foregoing comments any "nicer" or give posters carte blanche to say whatever they want.

I think it's always good to remember that we all like different styles of names, and if someone is asking for suggestions or comments, it makes sense to work within that person's personal style, rather than put down their taste in names. It's different if someone asks an open-ended, "what do you think of this name? I'm not sure of it" type of question.

I am not trying to start up trouble, or be antagonistic, but it just struck me as really unnecessary. And I think politeness, or at least civility, is key to a successful board.

I wasn't "attacking" anybody! YOU are the one who's "attacking" ME! Oh please! Give it up! How dare you go off on me!

You're a total hypocrite! You have the gall to sit here and tell me that by me saying sorry at the end, it doesn't make what I said any nicer, well, hmm...gee...isn't that what YOU just did at the end of YOURS??? Yes.......you did! Besides, I am not the ONLY person who's said that I don't like boys names on girls AND I am not hte only person who's said that I don't like last names as first names. Soooooooo......unless you are going to respond to each and every single on of those posts as well.....you have no right to come down on "just me". Oh, please, I can take it. You do not intimidate me. I'm just pointing out how I think you're being a hypocrite!

Well, I didn't mean to come down just on you. I guess I was just responding to what I sometimes see on the boards in general, which is offering up criticism -- sometimes very blunt criticism -- when it is not asked for. But I should have put it in a separate thread, where more people would see it anyway, and where it would not disrupt iluvkyndall's poll and related comments. Also, perhaps it would have been seen as less of an "attack" on you. So I apologize for posting this in the wrong place.

Believe me, I was not trying to intimidate you (or anyone) by my post -- quite the opposite, I was just trying to foster politeness on the board (which this dialogue clearly is not accomplishing!).

Ladyofyre, if you look at my post, not once did I accuse you of "attacking" anyone, so I don't know why you have that in quotes throughout your post. And I know that you are certainly not the only person who expresses negative opinions toward unisex or surname-names. That's fine. I'm only suggesting that the appropriate forum for that would be if someone says, "what do you all think of using last names as first names?" Or if someone says, "I am thinking of naming my daughter Jane, Charlotte, McKenzie, or Hunter. Which do you like best and why," it would be fine to say that you don't favor last names as first names so you would choose Jane or whatever. But my point is just that those comments are warranted when they are asked for. And I didn't think that iluvkyndall was asking for your thoughts on unisex names or boys' names for girls, that's all. I just thought you could've abstained from posting since you had nothing positive to say about any of the names. Even if none of them were your personal choice, you could have just selected which one you liked the best out of the options presented. I think that would have been more constructive. But I think that you are entitled to express your opinions of course when they are asked for(hence, the purpose of the board), and that whenever I see your posts you often offer up good advice and interesting suggestions. So I wish you hadn't taken my post the wrong way. I think posts, like e-mails, can often be misconstrued because you can read it the wrong way, given that you can't hear someone's tone of voice or see their facial expressions.

As far as being a hypocrite, I always try to phrase my posts tactfully and respond to the question that's being posed, so I guess you mean I am a hypocrite because I said that apologizing after venting an uncensored or uncalled for opinion at the end of a post does not give one the right to say whatever they want without regard to people's feelings. And then I said that I was not trying to start trouble at the close of my post. But I was not apologizing for what I said, which I didn't think was inappropriate or overly harsh or a personal attack. I was just trying to avoid the exact reaction I got!

Bottom line, if you disagree with me, I'm sorry, and if I hurt your feelings, it was not my intention. I'll leave it at that.

The name from your list that I think sounds the prettiest is Karlyn. But when I just say it out loud, I see "Carlin" (as in, George Carlin) in my mind.


Also, I think the "Karlyn" spelling looks just slightly awkward, so if I may offer a suggestion for a different spelling: Karlyne or Karlynne.


I'd probably go more with Karlynne, b/c Karlyne might get "car-LINE" pronunciations. I don't know, I just think the "-lynne" at the end makes it look a little more feminine.


Best of luck to you!
