Kodiak or Kodyak

We’ve already decided his name will be [name_f]Kodiak[/name_f], just trying to decide which way to spell it. So which do you think looks better?

[name_f]Kodiak[/name_f] [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m]
Kodyak [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m]

Thanks!!

[name_f]Kodiak[/name_f] seems the smartest way to spell it.

I think [name_f]Kodiak[/name_f] looks nicer.

[name_f]Kodiak[/name_f] is distinctive enough without messing around with the spelling.

I agree, [name_f]Kodiak[/name_f] looks better!

Definitely [name_f]Kodiak[/name_f].

Definitely [name_f]Kodiak[/name_f]. I don’t see any reason to use Kodyak which not only makes it look like it’s pronounced kod-yak instead of kodi-ak, but I can only see the ‘yak’ on the end which looks like ‘yuk!’ Kodyak just makes it look like you’re trying too hard to make a name different, which [name_f]Kodiak[/name_f] already is anyway.

[name_f]Kodiak[/name_f] is my preference. I pronounce these differently ko-dee-ak vs kode-yak. Good luck.

[name_f]Kodiak[/name_f]. Definitely.

I much prefer the [name_f]Kodiak[/name_f] spelling.

[name_f]Kodiak[/name_f] looks way better!

Going to have to agree with everyone else, [name_f]Kodiak[/name_f] looks much nicer!

I prefer [name_f]Kodiak[/name_f]. [name_f]Kodiak[/name_f] [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] is very handsome!

[name_f]Kodiak[/name_f] for me.

[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Kodiak[/name_f] [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m].

Definitely [name_f]Kodiak[/name_f]. The other spelling looks confusing.

The only appeal I see in Kodyak is the nn [name_u]Kody[/name_u] looks more masculine than Kodi to mean. That being said, there is no reason a [name_f]Kodiak[/name_f] can’t be a [name_u]Kody[/name_u]. I love that you have a whimsical natury vibe going, but I think changing spellings is a bit [name_m]OTT[/name_m], as if you are trying too hard to be different. Plus, for me personally, the alternative spelling takes away the beauty of what [name_f]Kodiak[/name_f] means

I agree i not y.

[name_f]Kodiak[/name_f], not Cod yack.

Thank you everyone!! I appreciate the input! [name_f]Kodiak[/name_f] [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] will be his name! ”
