curious--why do you consider kira/kyra separate from keira & schuyler separate from skylar/er?

[sarahrose.livejournal.com]

Kira/Kyra = K-eye-ruh
Keira = keer-uh

Schuyler = shue-lir
Skylar/Skyler = sky-lir

[ifancylust.livejournal.com]

most people pronounce (or mispronounce) kira/kyra as KY-ruh..the "ky" rhyming with eye. but i've known keiras, kyras and kiras and all of them were pronounced keer-ruh.
schuyler is indeed pronounced sky-lurr. never heard it pronounced shoo-lurr. i think that might be a mispronunciation.

[sarahrose.livejournal.com]

Well, I disagree, but to each his own.

[ifancylust.livejournal.com]

i wasn't even aware that shoo-lurr was a name.

[solyma.livejournal.com]

it's not

[http://users.livejournal.com/-glass-/]

schuler. it's german. it's different than schuyler, but a name. a surname, but a name. lots of people have last names as first. i would find schuler acceptable as a name.

[sarahrose.livejournal.com]

No, I'm sry, it's not.

[sarahrose.livejournal.com]

I've known a Keira who was keer-uh, I've known a Kyra who was Kye-ruh. I've known a boy named Schuyler who was shoo-lir and I've seen the name Skylar as sky-lir.

Names are very objective.

[sarahrose.livejournal.com]

No, they chose to pronounce his name that way, and fittingly. That's what the name is. They chose it, so it is.


Why is this such a big deal to you anyway?

[sarahrose.livejournal.com]

It's not ignorance, it's a strong opinion. You can pronounce Zzyzx Amanda all you want.

You're not going to be naming my children, or my character or pets, or whomever I choose to name. You'll never even come in contact with them (hopefully). So get over it.
