I'm having a boy and he's due on december 15th.
and I love the name Kameryn Lain.
But everyone tells me Kameryn with a K and a Y is too girly. what do you think?

I think it is too girly.

the "K" works but the "y" makes a bit too feminine for me but ultimately you're the one who has to decide.

Girly.

Yes, definitely reminds me of Kathryn, and it just doesn't look right.

[muliebrity.livejournal.com]

Not too girly, just... awful. Sorry. What's wrong with Kameron/Cameron?

[smashyoursymbol.livejournal.com]

yeah I like Kameron too. but i love Kameryn =)

[muliebrity.livejournal.com]

It just seems strange to me, like spelling it differently just for the sake of being different. Also, I can see it being shortened to Kammy, which is, imo, a very girly nn.

Girly. the whole name is too girly.

I honestly think that giving names different spellings just confuses people. I think Cameron is perfectly fine. I do like the name you've picked though. Cameron Lain is very cute. If I saw the name "Kameryn" I would probably think of a female.

Too girly. Also, I had to say the name aloud five times to figure out that it was pronounced 'Cameron'. That's not a good thing.

I agree that it's feminine, especially with a middle name like Lain. Also, I just plain don't like 'creative' name spellings.
Cameron is a gorgeous name though :)

very feminine.

i too think both names are a bit girly-why not Cameron Lane?

Sorry, I think it is very girly.

Same here

Cameron Lane (or even Kameron Lane) would be unisex, but not scream 'girly/creative spelling'. It's a great name.

I have to agree with the majority of the other commenters - it's too girly. Cameron would be much better than Kameryn (it looks too much like Katheryn). I've always considered Lain to be a girl's name, too.

[momentarygenius.livejournal.com]

agreed. girly.

[amandavanessa.livejournal.com]

Kameryn = FEMININE.

Just spell it correctly to avoid confusion later on.

[bleed-insanity.livejournal.com]

I like the K i think the Y may make it to girly, but i deff. love the name!!!! and hes due on my birthday :)!!

[ewaeva.livejournal.com]

I agree with most people.

Girly.

And a nonsensical spelling. What's the point?? What's wrong with Cameron? That's how everyone will spell his name anyway.

If I was a boy named Kameryn, I'd be changing my name as soon as I turned 18.

Yeh i think it does look really girly actually. Not so much the 'K' but the 'y' does a lot. I do like the names though, they flow really well. I like the spelling of Lain though :-D

[elemmennope.livejournal.com]

Well, I would assume that was a girl... because for some reason it's always the girls with the bad spellings, and boys with the traditional ones.

it's very feminine.

cameron lane.

[quiet-recluse.livejournal.com]

Even if it wasn't girly it just looks wrong and it's not very practical. Kameron or Cameron is the way to go with that name.

[dionysia.livejournal.com]

Cameron Lane, please.

[jenniferdunn.livejournal.com]

I second that..

or if you are really in love with the name, save it for when/if you have a girl? =)

Do you know the Muffin Man, who lives on Kameryn Lain?
