Yoo-neek & Cre8ive? Or fine?

Girl Names

The girl choosing name saga continues for me.

Okay, I’m still really liking “[name]Alair[/name]” which I had never heard of until I googled “names that mean happy.”

It’s just that I prefer the spelling “Elair” which is not a name, at least not one that I can find. I like Elair better because it gives the nickname “[name]Elle[/name]” and it is more intuitive to pronounce. For example, “Alaire” could be [name]AH[/name]-lare or UH-lair. I like “UH-lare” or “[name]EL[/name]-are” the best.

Since it’s a totally uncommon name anyway can I adopt an alternative spelling that I prefer? Or am I just as bad as [name]Caydence[/name]/[name]Khloe[/name]/Mykynzeee’s moms?

Elair and [name]Alair[/name] are pronounced differently.

EH-lair or EE-lair
vs.
UH-Lair or [name]AH[/name]-lair

So it’s not about screwing up the spelling, it’s about what pronunciatino you want. spell it the way you want it said.

For the UH-lair pronunciation, use [name]Alair[/name].
For the EH-lair pronunciation, I’d spell it Ellair; the two Ls help with the EH sound.

Elair looks like you forgot the c for Eclair to me. Sorry.
Celianne’s suggestion of Ellair definitely helps with that.
