Just got back home from a baby shower and there were several children there. My roommate and I were excited to go because a classmate would be there who we "keep contact with" through Facebook and we haven't been able to figure out how to pronounce her son's name.

The baby in question is named Bryiss. We'd been thinking that it was a snowflake spelling of Bryce. Nothing could have prepared me to meet "Bry-iss".

The new baby is going to be a boy and Mom, Holly, announced his name: Ryler Corey. Corey is after his father. Ryler *might* be named after dad's best friend who's name is Tyler but who knows.

Other children in attendance (spellings not confirmed):

Lola (5)

Kaitlyn (10)

Danika (4)

Xavier (toddler)

Landon (3)

Andy (full name - 13 mos - parents picked Andy as a gender neutral name because they didn't want to find out the sex)

In sort of related news a girl I know from high school just had her second child. Amber, Bill and big sister Mackenzie "Mack" or "Kennie" welcome new baby brother Caius.

Bryiss???!! Noooooo

It was bad enough when we thought it was just a snowflake spelling. Starting to wonder if mom read something wrong. She actually posted, "Picked a name. Now to pick a spelling." before the baby was born, so we just assumed unique spelling. Not sure where the heck she got the name from.

My thoughts exactly... eeeek.

Haha! At least it isn't Bris! That could get awkward fast. ;)



Personally, I think Ryler Corey is equally atrocious. Is Ryler even a name, or just something they made up?

[being-lola-star.livejournal.com]

We're not even sure about Ryler. As far as I know, it's made up. It's definitely not my style.

Ryler... I don't... know... no, I don't like it. Ryler. Ryler. No. Lol

And I have to admit, I have a soft spot for "Andie" for a girl. Not that I'd ever use it, but I like it.

I really like the name Tyler. I would have been either Brandon or Tyler if I had been a boy. My parents found out I was going to be a girl though and didn't have to pick, haha. Ryler though I don't like. I like Riley too. Wish I had the gall to ask but I didn't think that the shower surrounded by people was a good place.

My very good friend has a younger sister called Andy and I knew an Adrienne in high school who went by Andi. I really like it. My grandfather is Andrew but goes by Andy. It's sort of growing on me as name.

I read it as Bry-iss before I got to the pronunciation and was like, "ew" Ryler, yuck! Why would they name their kid Calus, it is Caloous!

[how-obscure.livejournal.com]

The third letter in the name is an i, not an L, so it's kie-us, not calus. I actually like Caius. I prefer Gaius though.

Oh I misread that name, I actually don't mind Caius, but nms.
