How would you spell this name?
| Wed, 11-10-2004 - 11:23am |
I am 15 weeks pregnant with twins and we are trying to decide on a name! We will be finding out what they are soon! If they are both boys, we would like to use the names carson and dreadon (pronounced dray-don). But we really aren't sure how to spell dreadon.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Also, what do you think about Halle (haylee) and Megan for two girls!!??

Halle and Megan are nice names, but I think Halle will be mispronounced - how about Hayli, Hayley, Hailey, etc.
Great names you've chosen!
Good Luck!
the girls names i like, however, not the spelling of Halle for the saying of Hailey.. there is Halle (Hahl-lee) Berry.. i would see and say Hahl-lee not Hailey. some may say Hall-ee. the double "LL" makes it a short "a" sound. how about * Haleigh * is distinctive from the traditionally spelled Hailey. looks very pretty also. or Haley is you dont care for "eigh". *** Haley & Megan *** that is adorable! pretty! cute as young girls, yet names to grow and mature with. or Haleigh & Megan is lovely too.
just thought are you saying * Megan as Mehg-ann * ? i assume is said as like that. some do say as ** Mee-gann. ** if you say as * Mee-gann * *** Haleigh & Meagan *** would be absolutely lovely together.
..(all names do get mispelled and said sometimes, but consider how spelling/saying/phonics is done and said..would be missaid, misspelled far more often)..

I also think that the Dreadon spelling looks less attractive because of the word "dread" which to me is A) a state of anxiety and B) a rastafarian hairstyle. JMHO!
I really like the name Carson btw!
As for the spelling of Halle, I think that most people will pronounce that like Hallie, as in Halle Berry, and many will not pronounce it Haylee/Hailey/Haley as you want them to. I'd recommend using a spelling such as Haley or Hayley. Haylee just is not as polished, and Hailey looks like a LN to me.
I also like the name Megan (and I think that spelling's great!) and I think Haley & Megan would be cute twin girl names.
Good luck!
I love the name Megan. As for Halle, I agree I would pronounce that "Hah-lee" (similar to Holly, not the pronounciation you want). So I would go with the traditional Hayley spelling to ensure that it is pronounced correctly.
Hayley and Megan are very cute together.
I think Halle and Megan go nicely together!
Help or hinder?
Good luck finding that perfect name!
