Children..

Just checking out a local tattoo shop and the piercer suggested I check out her facebook for her portfolio, and when I did, I noticed she has two young kids:

Braunwyn and Wylde

I'm torn on Wylde, but Braunwyn just seems to kre8tiv for me. Thoughts?

Braunwyn (looks) like a terrible mixing of language roots. Bronwyn would be better.

One of my guilty pleasures is Wilder...but I don't like Wylde. The "y" bothers me. Wilde would be better.

Braunwyn seems like an old traditional Gaelic name...spelled really badly.

Oh, I know Bronwyn, which is why I found Braunwyn odd. I LOVE Bronwyn, actually. But yeah, I thought I'd find out what you guys thought of the silly misspelling.

I think the traditional spelling of Bronwyn is better - seems like the parents spelled the named phonetically. And is it supposed to sound like Wilde (like Oscar) or Wild?

[aquilinum.livejournal.com]

Wait, what? Oscar Wilde's surname is pronounced exactly the same as the word "wild" — to the best of my knowledge.

yea Wilde is pronounced Wild...i'm confused too

[googlebee-ohmi.livejournal.com]

maybe we are just backass woods country ... haha it has always been pronounced "Willed" whenever I have heard it.

I don't like either, but they would be better if they were spelled differently.

[aquilinum.livejournal.com]

Trying. Too. Hard.

They are both scary lol

Bronwen/Bronwyn is SO pretty, but this spelling is atrocious. I don't actually hate Wylde.

[birdsonthewire.livejournal.com]

i like Braunwyn better spelled Bronwyn or even Bronwynn which i think is closer to how it's spelled in Wales (it's a welsh name, you can always tell when there are "w"s and "y"s next to each other like that lol)

Wylde, however, i think she just made up. I don't understand naming your kid that...it's an adjective that's misspelled.
