What about some "fantasy names"

Like "Kalas". I used to roleplay on AOL and Kalas was a cute little boy with red hair.

The more I think about it, the more the name sounds interesting.

Kalas Kaos?

I dunno... Suggestions?

Is it pronounced like "callous?" Not a good association.

[tagban.livejournal.com]

I always pronounced it:

Kailis (Sounds like Pail+lis)

I think the minute you put "Kay" in the name people are going to be more likely to think it is feminine (since the sound appears in a lot of the run-away popular names like Kaitlin, Kayley, Katie, etc.)

[tagban.livejournal.com]

Yea but its not "kay"

[neroli.livejournal.com]

By "it," do you mean the spelling or the pronunciation?

If you mean the pronunciation, I don't think most people make much of a distinction between where the consonant sound falls, so they would hear KAY-liss and KAIL-iss as identical.

If you mean the spelling, I thought it should be clear that I was referring to the Kay sound rather than the letters K-a-y based on the examples I included. And the fact that I used the word "sound".

could you just spell it that way? (Kailis) I think it looks better anyway, if slightly feminine.

How would you say Kalas? I'm hearing Kay-lus sorta if that makes sense (I'm horrible with pronunciations)

I think it's pretty cool actually. Not digging Kaos.

[turabiannights.livejournal.com]

Agreed. Plus, if Kalas is prn. "callous" - not so much.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

I think I would prefer it if it were spelled Callas (rhymes with Pallas, as in Athena) but then I don't know if that makes it closer to Callous.

Kalas I think is pretty cool, as long as it doesn't end up getting pronounced too close to callous. Kalas Kaos is really not my style, so I wouldn't use that as a middle name, but meanings aside, I do like the alliteration of the names together.

[tagban.livejournal.com]

Well Kalas Kaos was the old name of my charactor. I made up Kalas entirely. And decided to pronounce it similar to Kaless.

Pronounciation could come from Kale the charactor from... Titan A.E.
