Ok, honestly, is Elizabethany a REAL name or just one that a parent decided to push together? I really hate the sound of it, but if it's legit, I can't hate too much.

Also, a name from today: Addylynn.

Never heard of Elizabethany, and Addylynn makes me think of a sneeze.

No... it's not a real name.

Elizabethany? Um way too many syllables.

Elizabethany is horrible.

I like the sound of Addylynn when it is said out loud, but looking at written out it makes my eyes bleed.

I hate Elizabethany.
And Addylynn just seems like a wonky way to spell Adaline. (add-uh-lynn)

It's definitely just Elizabeth and Bethany shoved together; I like one or the other, together it sounds ridiculous.

I don't like the spelling of Addylynn, but I'm not sure how to spell it to make it sound the way I'd like it. Like Madeline... Mad-uh-lynn. I like the sound of that, but not of Mad-EE-lynn or Mad-uh-lyne. ... hope that made sense.

ADD-uh-lynn I like.

You're right in hating it. Someone decided to be funny or cute by mushing Elizabeth and Bethany together. But it's neither funny nor cute.

Is the second name pronounced A-dee-lynn, or A-duh-lynn? I'd prefer the A-duh-lynn pronunciation--Addylynn doesn't age very well. I don't like the spelling, either. Too many y's and double letters!

sounds made up to me. :P

Eliza Bethany would be cute as a first & middle name... but Elizabethany is just stupid. :\

Elizabethany?? That's horrible. Why do people torture their children?

Addylynn just has too many letters in her name, plus she has an ugly name.

Ahahahah. Ohh my gosh. Even if it were a legit name, I would hate it just as much.

Addie Lynn isn't quite as bad. What's with the name-collisions? :\

I wouldn't use it, but I've heard worse. It also looks to me like Elizabethan with a y added.
