Came across a Myspace profile whose owner apparently likes the letter Y.

Baby #1, boy: Shayden Layne

Baby #2 is on the way, and I'm thinking it's a boy? If I was positive how to pronounce the first name, I'd be more sure: Danyl Aydynn

I'm thinking it's supposed to be "Daniel"?

Why? WHY THE FASCINATION WITH Y?

I went through and replaced all the vowels in my name with y (except a few o's) and I have to say, and surprised and impressed with how much cooler my name looks now. Of course, it would no longer be pronounced as anything remotely resembling my name, but hey, you can't have everything. Maybe I can figure out how to work a few z's and x's in there, too...

Maybe Danyl is supposed to be pronounced like Danny-el. I guess you could argue yl makes a 'yul' sound, but there really ought to be another vowel there.
