I don’t like it, I am sorry. Of similar sound, I prefer and like much more [name_u]Marlowe[/name_u].

I instinctively pronounced it day-tow-ee or day-toe-ee. It’s an interesting name

[name_m]Just[/name_m] looking at it I’m confused on pronunciation. It makes me think of the word “Owie” like what my kids exclaim when they get hurt but with the T in front I’m saying Toe. I agree with the [name_u]Marlow[/name_u] suggestion. [name_u]Harlow[/name_u] or [name_f]Deyton[/name_f] maybe to consider also.

I think the sound is cool! I think Towe (or even Tao) could be a really cool nickname.

6

I think it is very unattractive.

not a fan, sorry!

here are some thoughts (as non-biased as possible)

pros:

  • it’s a unique and original name, which can be a positive factor for some people who are looking for something distinctive and memorable
  • the sound of the name is pleasant and has a certain lyrical quality to it, which can make it appealing to the ear.
  • the name has a modern and trendy feel to it, which can be a good fit for someone who wants to choose a name that feels current and up-to-date
  • the name doesn’t have any obvious negative connotations or associations, which can be a plus for someone who wants to avoid any potential pitfalls

cons:

  • it could be a little bit tricky for someone to know how to pronounce instinctively, as it’s a non-standard spelling
  • to some, it might seem contrived or overly fabricated, which could detract from its overall appeal
  • the name may be easily misspelled or mistaken for other names that are similar in sound, which could lead to confusion or frustration for the person with the name or those trying to communicate with them
  • it may be difficult for people from different cultural or linguistic backgrounds to pronounce or remember the name correctly, which could lead to awkward or uncomfortable situations
  • since the name is a made-up one, it may lack historical or cultural significance, which could be a drawback for some people who value traditional or meaningful names
  • some people may find the name too trendy or ephemeral, which could make it feel dated or out-of-style in the future

I don’t mind the look of Deytowe, but I pronounced it completely wrong until I saw your guide. [name_f]My[/name_f] intuition would say dee-toe.

The spelling and pronunciation isn’t very intuitive. I kept reading it day-toe even after reading your post several times. I think you’d have to spell it something like Daytao to get the ‘towel’ sound, but even that is not exactly easy for spelling/reading.

[name_f]My[/name_f] first instinct would be to pronounce it day-toe, rhyming with potato. Not really a fan, but it could work for others!

I really don’t find the spelling intuitive. There seems to be so much going on for a simple pronunciation. I’m not big int it at first glance…

Most people won’t get the pronunciation right on first try. But if that doesn’t bother you, go for it.

Not a fan of the -tow ending. Makes me think of toes, unfortunately.
