@wittyusername103

thanks for sharing this!! that is actually kinda what i am going for like approachable-modern-meets-forgotten-classic, so this is good to hear :smiling_face:

I love Neptune and, planet-wise, really like it on anyone, but like @leafygreens mentioned, it does feel weird to use a male deity’s name on a girl.

If you’re open to suggestions, I also love Neptunia!

(Which happens to be the name of 2 historic ships, M.S. Neptunia & S.S. Neptunia) (I work in an immigration archive :sweat_smile: )

So I’ve been loving Cleophee lately (pn CLEE-uh-fay) but I don’t love the spelling. It seems to cause some pronunciation issues, and I’m not too keen on using accents (also you physically cannot put accents on a birth certificate where I live)
This is all purely speculation… but how bad would it be if I put her on my list as Cleofay (or some variant)?

(Poll is anonymous)

  • Yes, it looks cute!!
  • Not my fav, but def doable
  • No no bad do not
  • …and I prefer Cleophee
  • …and I prefer Cleofay (or some alt. spelling)

ClƩophƩe is one of my favourite [name_m]French[/name_m] names!

I never thought of Cleofay as a spelling before. It is cool!

i don’t think there’s anything wrong with it, especially since it’s all hypothetical, but if i was going to change the traditional spelling of a name to make it phonetic then i’d go all out? in the sense that, i still wouldn’t pronounce cleofay the way you do (i’d say clee-oh-fay, not clee-uh-fay) so because of that it doesn’t really make the change ā€œworth itā€ if that makes sense at all :sweat_smile: ?

That totally makes sense!! In my accent, those two sound almost the same, but your logic is definitely sound :slight_smile:

Favorites with the middle name ocean ?:tulip::rainbow::black_heart:

[name_m]Just[/name_m] looks like a smoosh of [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] and [name_f]Fay[/name_f].

[name_m]Even[/name_m] Cleofaye would be cute.

Of those options [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] and [name_f]Ouisa[/name_f] are the only one that makes sense to me to have Ouisie as a nn. because the others don’t have a ou sound in them the way I pronounce them. But of those I only like [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] for a full name.

[name_m]Sam[/name_m] as other I would pronounce this still with an OH sound (and with different emphasis, I say it clee-OH-fee), I think Cleaphae could be really cute though and matches with the rest of your list better than Cleofay

I’ve been liking this name for a while. Only problem: I think I made it up as I’ve seen it nowhere. I’d like your opinion.

Thoughts on Karryne (kah-REEN)

It’s a version of Karina, without the uh/ah sound at the end. It could also be spelled Karine, version of, and maybe more usable than, Karen.

(This is all hypothetical)

I like the pronunciation, but not the spelling. I’d instinctively pronounce it as kah-RINN or KAR-in, I’d much prefer [name_f]Karine[/name_f] to get to that pronunciation

I think I’d like it better as Karyne or [name_f]Karine[/name_f]. [name_m]Even[/name_m] Kahryne or Kahrine. Something about the double r’s is throwing me off.

Kristopher?
