Just heard about a baby girl born recently.....

Neenuh Lylyen

Took me about 3 minutes to figure out WTF Lylyen was.

Geez...what the crap is so wrong with normal spellings?! Poor kid...

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

Uhhnngg.
Awful.

Hoooorrible

The poor lass will put her name on her resume and the prospective employer's going to think she can't type.

[xx-lovesick-xx.livejournal.com]

For that alone she'll probably keep the name and change the spelling when she's old enough.

Assuming I am sounding it out correctly...

The sad thing is, Nina Lillian is a really pretty name.

Actually I've got to say, the worst part of this may actually be the "uh" instead of "a" because that looks sooo ugly in a phlegmy guttoral sort of way, wheareas the ys just look ugly in an unsophisticated sort of way....

Me too...I was saying "Lyle-en? Lie-Lion?" I finally got it.

This should be considered child abuse. Neenuh, indeed. Neenugh is more like it.

[morphinae.livejournal.com]

Agreed, on both counts.

I didn't actually come up with Lillian until I read some of the comments. My first thought was Leelan like Leeland? Poor child.

[ugottafriend.livejournal.com]

Aaaaaahhhhhh. Why do some people spell so stupidly? WHY???

[waitingonsunday.livejournal.com]

I agree with krosp on the guttural "uh." I can imagine someone with a Germanic accent basically saying, "NeeNUCKH."

I had to say "Lylyen" aloud to get it.

[alexandria-skye.livejournal.com]

why!?!?!
nina lillian is definitely a pretty name, but that "neenuh lylyen" looks awful. not to mention the fact that the poor girl will *never* find personalized pens/mugs/etc at theme parks (one of my main frustrations as a kid)

[xx-lovesick-xx.livejournal.com]

as in Lilian? O.M.G. O_O

[politicking.livejournal.com]

WTF.

i kept saying it: Lie-leen LOL. i'm like "Leileen? Leyleen?" hahah

[mandy-23.livejournal.com]

Me too, I had to read the other comments to figure it out. lol.
