My friend is due mid/late Feb. with her first baby. She already has the names picked out. (She was supposed to find out 2 weeks ago, not she is on the 25th of [name]September[/name].)
Girl:
[name]Kylie[/name] [name]Elise[/name] - Really pretty! And I suggested [name]Elise[/name].
Boy:
[name]Maysin[/name] [name]William[/name] - Awful, awful, awful spelling of a common name!!! Heād be doomed to spell it for people his entire life!
Like both choices, but really wish [name]Mason[/name] was spelled right!
[name]Maysin[/name] doesnāt even say [name]Mason[/name], completely different pronunciation and sheāll end up looking really silly. It looks awful, itās a shame because [name]Mason[/name] [name]William[/name] is pretty handsome. It doesnāt matter how many letters she changes or adds in she still wants the name [name]Mason[/name] even though Iād pronounce it differently just from that spelling.
[name]Kylie[/name] is very chavvy and downmarket here, I really donāt like it but at least the spelling is normal.
She found out today. Itās a boy. So itās [name]Maysin[/name] [name]William[/name]. Another friend posted on her fb announcement that she should consider another spelling. That she (her friend) knows 2 girls with the name [name]Maysin[/name] with this spelling! A) For me [name]Mason[/name] is a boys name. B) Thatās a absolutely terrible spelling! Her friend then suggested [name]Mayson[/name], which isnāt great, but infinitely better than [name]Maysin[/name]!!
[name]Mayson[/name] is bad but at least it will be pronounced correctly, and it looks masculine.
I think people fall in love with the sound and feel of a name but still feel that, in the age of google and facebook, their child needs to stand out in print. [name]Hence[/name] these spellings.
I still think the best argument against [name]Maysin[/name] is that is spells out ā[name]May[/name] Sinā. While Iād prefer [name]Mason[/name] really besides the trendiness-effect of [name]Mayson[/name] there is nothing really wrong with it. (andā¦ I really donāt like yās in the middle of names, wigs me out visually. Makes me wonder if the mother was 13 and potentially high when she named her child - Cause I think when I was 13 I though oddly spelled names were cool).
Iām sure your friends baby-boy will be beautiful regardless of the spelling and she is keeping the very traditional [name]William[/name] as a mn. So at least if he turns out to prefer traditionalism more than his mother does he always has that choice.
Iām not sure what the fatherās thoughts are. I do know that he does have another son named [name]Cayden[/name] (not sure how itās spelled) that will be 1 around the time that the baby is due, though. I donāt think sheāll be swayed by anything anyone says. Sheās pretty set on that spelling. I would have much preferred a girl named [name]Kylie[/name] [name]Elise[/name]. And as lexium said, the baby will be adorable, but I just wish the name would match the baby!
I agree [name]Mayson[/name] is muchhhh better than [name]Maysin[/name], but still would prefer [name]Mason[/name]. I agree, he will just be forever spelling it for peopleā¦ugh.
I would prefer [name]Mason[/name] [name]William[/name], but [name]Mayson[/name] is a whole lot better than [name]Maysin[/name]. To me [name]Mayson[/name] just looks like someone wanting to feminize the name for a girl. Too bad she wonāt be swayed. The [name]May[/name] sin connection will probably be brought up and she may regret that.
