Need girl's name opinion
| Sun, 04-08-2007 - 8:24pm |
Next week I find out if I am having a boy or girl so i wanted to get some opinions on the girl name that i like. I already have a 2 1/2 year old little girl named Jadyn Alexis and if this one is a girl i was thinking of the name Aeryn Kynedi (pronounced Erin Kennedy). My mom doesn't mind the name but hates the spelling and my boyfriend doesn't even want to talk about names until we know the sex, so i need some outside opinions. WDYT about the name and it's spelling.

Erin is nice, but I'm with your mom ... Aeryn isn't just a poorly-spelled version. It's not even close to the actual name (and to be quite honest, it's about 100% LESS attractive). Kind of looks like the name of a factory or brand of shoe.
And I can't even touch "Kynedi!" That CANNOT be prounounced Kennedy. It looks like kin-eh-die, and at the very closest might be said kin-e-dee, but not ken-e-dee. Contrary to popular belief, the letter Y actually makes a sound. It can't be randomly substituted for any old vowel and expected to be a recognizable misspelling.
Also, do you really want future colleges, employers, etc. bypassing your child because she obviously can't even spell her own name? Because that's how something like that comes across. It doesn't make it look "prettier" ... just ignorant. Sorry to be so honest, but since you asked.
In short, if you like Erin Kennedy, which is a perfectly fine name, name her ERIN KENNEDY! There's absolutely no appeal to butchering the name to the point that it's utterly unattractive and completely unrecognizable.

Aeryn Kynedi just looks AWFUL! Really horrible, I strongly suggest not using it for your daughter's sake! Erin Kennedy is a million times nicer.

A girl I went to HS with spelled her name Erynn. I like either spelling. Aeryn, Eryn or Erynn. I love Kennedy with Aeryn. What about...
Aeryn Kennedy
Eryn Kennedy
Erynn Kennedy
Aeryn Kennedie
Eryn Kennedie
Erynn Kennedie
Aeryn Kennedi
Eryn Kennedi
Erynn Kennedi
or even Erinn, Aeren, Aeran, Airyn. Not sure if any of these are your style, nms personally. Not even sure if the above spellings are how you would pronounce them:)ha.
Congrats on expecting! Good Luck naming the bundle of joy:) HTH.
I love Erin Kennedy but I agree with your mom about the spelling.
sorry, but I'm TOTALLY with your mom on the spelling
the name itself is OK - Erin Kennedy - although to me, Erin is slightly dated to the 70s/80s when most of the ones I know were born
The name is pretty but I'd go with a more traditional spelling for two reasons:
1. It is going to be mispronounced daily
2. She'll have to spell it all of the time
