Ysore?

Girl Names
1

What do you think of Ysore? [name_m]How[/name_m] do you pronounce it?

Thank you!

2

I see “eyesore” when I look at it. Not a fan.

3

I would say “ee-sor” but I see “eye sore” when I view it. It’s not the best-looking name written out on the page. Perhaps you would like [name_f]Isaura[/name_f].

4

I agree with @mischa’s suggestion of [name_f]Isaura[/name_f]. Also the [name_m]French[/name_m] form, [name_f]Isaure[/name_f], is similar to Ysore.

5

Thanks!

I am not a fan of [name_f]Isaure[/name_f]. I see Dinosaure (Dinosaur in [name_m]French[/name_m]).

And I say Ee-zor.

6

[name_f]Lovely[/name_f] but problematic!

7

Agreed. My first instinct is to think it’d probably be said ee-sore or ee-sore-eh, but when I see it written down, my mind automatically goes to “eyesore”. I agree that [name_f]Isaura[/name_f] is a better alternative.

8

I don’t see this working in an Anglophone country. People will see the word eyesore, which is unfortunate.

I’d pronounce it Ih-Saur. I like the sound.

Similar names:
[name_f]Isaura[/name_f] / Ysaura
[name_f]Isolde[/name_f] / [name_f]Yseult[/name_f]
[name_m]Isidore[/name_m] (technically a boys name, but would work on a girl)/ [name_f]Isidora[/name_f] / [name_f]Ysadora[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabeau[/name_f]
[name_f]Yvette[/name_f]
[name_f]Yvonne[/name_f]
Yvarra

[name_u]Love[/name_u] the sound, but definitely see “eyesore.” [name_f]Isaura[/name_f] / Ysaura is beautiful and doesn’t have that problem.

Sorry Esita, I’m not a fan of your propositions :frowning: and I’m against that new fashion (boy’s names on girls or girl’s names on boys).
What about Isore?

11

I think Isore makes it worse, because I think not just “eyesore” but also “I sore”–almost like a little toddler’s version of “I am sore”. The “Y” could easily be “EE” or “EYE”, but Isore is I and sore just spelled out together.

For what it’s worth, boys’ names on girls, and girls’ names on boys, is not a new fashion. That has literally been around for millennia (there are examples of both boy and girl Noahs in the Bible), and most generations have their Harpers and Averys, or Ashleys and Taylors, or Terrys and Kellys, or Jessies and Evelyns.

12

What about Ysella (ee sella).

13

Well, it’s a new fashion where I live! And it’s getting worse…
[name_u]Noah[/name_u] has many origins. That’s what it’s unisex. Anyways I was just saying that I’m not okay with that and could not name my daughter [name_m]Isidore[/name_m], sorry :-/

Ysella is nice! I like Yselle better though.
We really like [name_f]Elinor[/name_f] (but it doesn’t fit with [name_u]Elliott[/name_u]) and we would like a -or name.

Thanks!

14

I thought “eyesore” when I saw Ysore as well.

15

Eee all i see is SORE. [name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_f]Yvaine[/name_f] or [name_f]Yvonne[/name_f]

16

I keep glancing at the headline, “Ysore?” And thinking “You sore, bro?” But maybe that’s just me.

17

I would pronounce it how it spelled. why-sore. What about [name_f]Azure[/name_f] or [name_m]Izar[/name_m]?

Some -or names
[name_f]Honor[/name_f]
[name_f]Cora[/name_f]
[name_f]Lenore[/name_f]
[name_f]Flora[/name_f]
[name_u]Lior[/name_u]/[name_f]Liora[/name_f]
[name_f]Annora[/name_f]
[name_f]Aurore[/name_f]/[name_f]Aurora[/name_f]
[name_f]Zora[/name_f]
[name_f]Noor[/name_f]

I read it as “ee-sor”… but it reminds me of “Eeyore” from [name_f]Winnie[/name_f] the Pooh…
