Ahhh! Wacky spellings alert!

I was on myspace, and on the home page there's some random videos, right? And it shows the name of the people who made them.

Krystyna Marie Fox


WDYT?

Ick, I don't like that at all. I knew a girl named Chrystine once and I thought that was bad. This one's much worse.

I think that if it's going to have one Y, it should have the two. I don't mind it. It's also Polish, so it's familiar in my family/family circle.

People aren't going to necessarily abandon their cultural heritage because they or their families have immigrated.

The America thing was more of a joke, haha.

[serdyuchkafan.livejournal.com]

True.

It's also the Ukrainian form of Christina, which is my Aunt's name :)

Good to know. On Yahoo! Answers people criticized a woman for wanting to name her daughter Mercedes because they assumed she was naming her kid after a car. My faith in peoples' knowledge of other cultures is at an all time low.

lol, I know a girl named Lexus and I'm pretty sure she's named after the car.

I don't really like it, but I prefer -tine over -tina, anyhow.

There's just.. too many y's for my taste.

[aballard23.livejournal.com]

Haha. I would SO name my daughter Lexus. I love those cars. :)

[aballard23.livejournal.com]

awlkteant I LOVE the name Mercedes! It's adorable, though I can't see it on an adult female, sadly. =/

I don't like it as an obnoxious American alternative.

But I do like it as the Polish/Ukrainian/other form.

[emtotherescuee.livejournal.com]

Hahah, no, I'm not that obnxious.

It's pretty normal to me because I grew up in a predominantly Polish town (although I'm not myself) and that's how it's spelled there.

But if you're not Polish and just think you're creative, then no.
