Thread Name: BS: Unusual Baby Names
Subject: RE: BS: Unusual Baby Names
With even normal names you end up with problems due to variants. I mean, anyone with the name Sarah (like me), ends up saying "with an h/without an h" all one's life!
Not to mention the million variants of Catherine. I prefer Katharine, myself, a German version.
I know a girl named Seanna- pronounced "Shawna", not "Sianna", as teachers are fond of calling her!
The most annoying part of many "unique" names for me is the tendency to spell them phonetically. Kaylee is one, Shawn is another. Maybe I just dislike being overly obvious.
My net name, Seiri, can be translated as "Spirit", among other things.
Cheers, Seiri (not Sayree!).
