Wasn't there a thread about this name that I read yesterday? :confused: Or was I dreaming that?
I like it anyway :)
ETA - Yeah! Here it is! Great minds think alike :)
Teni i dunno i havent read it so far if there is!
Thankyou i think its different but really nice!
Arimeh's Eden had a thread on this as she was thinking about the name.
oooh ok, hmm might have to go searching!!
thanks Lana
Yeah that:
I edited my original post with a link ;)
Same taste ay? ;)
Very cute, it means pebble in French, and I think it's also a term of endearment.
It does mean however that your child may be left explaining the pronunciation/spelling of their name for the rest of their life, as the "ll" sound in french is pronounced a hard "y_" dipthong and we have no equivalent in English.
we must do!! ever since i seen the cartoon i have been inlove for a long time!! Trying to convince my DP to like it, this is providing i have another boy lol:
i love unusual names!!
Marydean- i dont mind jinxing my son to have to spell and pronounce his name, my son already will have to tell people his name cause of the spelling
i named him Zachary but it's spelt Zakari (Zak-a-ri) he generally get (Za-kari)
So do I. My others are Aricyn, Mehkelti and Eden (which is the most normal one!):
And we always have to spell Aricyn and Mehkelti to people.
I'm not a big fan of it but I'm not a fan of the cartoon and I know a yippy nippy little dog with that name. I think it's one of those names that grows on you.
Arimeh love your childrens names!
My DP aint into unusual names especially pronounciation but he doesnt care about the spelling :rofl: but he will get use to different names cause i hate boring names that are used alot! Ever since i was little i have always been the type to love different spellings and different pronounciations
... i absolutley love the sound of Ky-you :D but i feel it would be a life sentence for the child in having to correct it with 'most' people for the rest of their life, i straight away thought it would have been pronounced Ky - Loo, so sorry if it was me personally it would drive me nuts :redface::
Thanks Smiles
if you read my other posts i've doomed (as someone called it) my son i have already of having to pronounce and spell his name
i understand where people coming from though but i think once they learn it, its kinda a name that sticks and grows on you to like
... very true as my own DD has an unusual name (but then so do i sort of) and yes i too believe lots of people do grow to like it ;):
i truly believe as a parent to go with the name you ' love the most ' for your bubba-to-be, especially if it's a name the sits within your heart you will know that feeling and know it's the right name (hope that makes sense ;))
Coming from someone who has a normal name but spelt different and has to spell it out to everyone she meets/talks to... i dont like. it. Unless its spelt the way it sounds.
my sons names are Nixon & Tyron which are not out there but not very common, i say if you love it go for it! (keep working on dh!)
I have never seen the cartoon so from the spelling i would not know how to pronounce but hey there are many names ppl need to spell for ppl! I have a reasonably simple surname but am always spelling it!
