I work with this girl named Fenicks. I had no idea she spelled it this way until I got a close look at her name tag today. o_o I thought it was Phoenix all this time.

I was like... Fenn... icks? What? lol

[missmaxattax.livejournal.com]

Okay. Phoenix was one thing.. this is totally different.
Phoenix I actually like.. Fenicks.. well.. is just.. Fenicks. That's, uhm, weird.

[serdyuchkafan.livejournal.com]

So it's pronounced like Phoenix? I keep pronouncing it like the Russian word for 'phoenix', which is Feniks (prn. Finn-icks).

Oh, that is dreadful. I didn't realise what it was until you'd written Phoenix. I think Phoenix is bad enough but then you go and spell it wrong? Ew.

[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

it reminds me of 'fennec', the desert fox.
I much prefer Phoenix. But does she pronounce it the same? Because her spelling makes me want to read it 'fen-ix'

I was going to say huked on fenicks.

Oh, man, please tell me I didn't actually say that. Or even think it.

[heather80.livejournal.com]

I read it as fenn-icks too.

I went to school with a Daffyd (pronounced David).

[bobinwales.livejournal.com]

Ditto!

[bobinwales.livejournal.com]

That's Welsh, although spelt wrong :)
'Dafydd (DAH-vith) dearly beloved; Welsh form of David'

[heather80.livejournal.com]

I just checked, and he does spell it Dafydd, I was remembering the spelling wrong (I didn't know him well, hehe). Glad that it's an actual name, I figured his parents were just being cute :).

[heather80.livejournal.com]

He pronounced it David, though, not Dah-vith. At least professors called him David, and I never heard him correct them :).

[bobinwales.livejournal.com]

Fair enough! I like the name, although I don't think I'd ever use it!

[unbakedbrownie.livejournal.com]

So did my husband. He was all, "D<< That's not how you spell that!"

[unbakedbrownie.livejournal.com]

Yup. That's Eugene for ya.

[unbakedbrownie.livejournal.com]

lulz, indeed. XD

[unbakedbrownie.livejournal.com]

I had the strangest expression on my face when I realized the spelling. XD

[unbakedbrownie.livejournal.com]

Yup, pronounced like Phoenix. That's what I thought it was until I actually read her name.

[unbakedbrownie.livejournal.com]

Indeed

[unbakedbrownie.livejournal.com]

Yup, I actually thought it was Phoenix up until I read her name tag.
