Randon Names

[solagirl.livejournal.com]

Here are some dozies from work: Blanid and Chrystelle. Blanid strikes me as the uglist name I've ever heard.

Also - here is a sib-set: Kayre and Ruy. Guess the gender and pronuciation.  Good luck...

EDIT: So the names above are pronounced Katie and Roo-ee. Both boys. :P

I read that as 'Bland' first.

Care and Roo? Or Roy? Both are boys?

Were they going for Carrie and Roy?

Chrystelle sounds quite nice, actually, but Blanid on the other hand, doesn't.

Ky-uh (f) and Ry (m) ?

as a carrie, i am horrified that kayre may be supposed to be pronounced the same as my name. ugh.

I don't like Blanid and Chrystelle is OK.

Kayre = "Kye-ear" or "Kye-ruh" or Carrie?
Ruy = Rye or "Rue-ee" or "Ree"?

Oh, Blanid, the impossibly homely love child (via artificial insemination) of Blythe and Enid.

So odd..I love Blythe and Enid and Blanid leaves me cold.

Blanid sound like someone trying to say "Planet" with a bad cold.

I hear Chrystelle and think of Cristal champagne. Perhaps that was the point.

Just learned this from searching names. Blanid is apparently the English form of the Irish Bláthnat, meaning little flower. Bláthnat in an Irish myth is the name of the maiden who loved Cúchulainn, the hero of Ulster in the Ulster Cycle.
Soooo, maybe the parents are Irish and/or, fond of that tale?
