You're free to miss-spell your name. I'm not going to.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11513909.post-54438483617304729342009-05-04T02:17:00.000-06:002009-05-04T02:17:00.000-06:00To Mike, Kynthia is not a new name in fact it's as...To Mike, Kynthia is not a new name in fact it's as old as greek mythology from whence it came. The modern derivative is Cynthia. I know this because my name is Cynthia and I have researched it's origin. I beg to differ that Kynthia sounds harsh - that is all a matter of opinion, and I wish my parents had given me that name instead of the latter.Cyndenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11513909.post-6890891692342460142008-04-19T13:46:00.000-06:002008-04-19T13:46:00.000-06:00I know a Zander.

The alternate spellings cause them to become cumbersome. While phonetically the same, they no longer flow easily in my mind. And then there is the creation of new names that are still closely related to normal names. One example would be Kynthia. Go ahead - say it out loud. The parents have stuck this poor girl with a harsh sounding name! The whole thing appears to me to be an epidemic of parents straining to be creative. Not only have they failed, but they have failed miserably and publicly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11513909.post-1156450881506913562006-08-24T14:21:00.000-06:002006-08-24T14:21:00.000-06:00I'm thinking Aisea is pronounced "Asia" and the pa...I'm thinking Aisea is pronounced "Asia" and the parents thought they would be cool giving their kid a name that is unique. Don't they read the statistics of children deemed "different" by their names?

Of course, it's probably pronounced "Janfrieda," or something like that. I think the worst one is Celestial. That's just...wow.
