i don't know if that's supposed to be kendall or kindle (like, to kindle a fire). i actually hope it's the latter because as a spelling for the former, that's atrocious!

Ugh. It's like keeping a fire alive.

I wouldn't worry about it too much. I mean, she named the poor kid that... She has to know it isn't exactly a 'normal' name.

Why is the meaning of Kyndle any worse than Kendall? I can understand if the creative spelling is annoying to people, but as far as meanings (like kindling a fire), both names should be considered equally horrendous.

Because Kendall doesn't mean to kindle a fire... and Kindle/Kyndle does. Ones a respelling of an actual word, and the other's a name. Even though I don't like the name Kendall, it's certainly the lesser of two evils.

I don't have an issue with Kindle but I don't like the alternate spelling.

Wait a second - Is this mother a person on your FL, or you just saw a comment she made on someone else's journal? Because the person I'm thinking of isn't a friend of yours... please don't tell me there are two poor children with this name!

Ah, thank God. I was looking at your profile, and I was all 'OH NO! It's not here!' I can't imagine two poor kids around here named that, heh.
