Oh okee dokee. haha, I thought it was worded fine, although I dont really remember it. I think it was confirming Im not the only one reading it as Gay-lyn.. right?
Yeah, that's what I thought originally before I was "corrected", and everyone here is confirming that, so I'm going to assume that enough baby name experts can't be wrong. ;)
I liked it and even suggested it to my SO, but he pointed out it would leave a boy waaaay to open to be called just 'Gay' throughout his school career. I knew a girl in school name Gala, which I always thought it was cute.
I was thinking of this name last night while watching a Star Trek TNG ep on dvd (character guest stars name) and I realized I really like it. It sounds very strong, handsome, not popular but not too much so. Only downside is the gay part that in could cause teasing especially in middle school - but you'll ultimentally get teased for one thing or another.
I really like it. I have always said it Gay Lyn. There is a series of books by Laurell K Hamilton, The Merry Gentry series, that has a faerie named Galen.
That's where I got it from, actually, and I made said something about the character to someone and they were like nooo it's Gah-lyn. Which it's obviously not. But yeah, I'm a Laurell K Hamilton addict, and I've had to switch over to the Merry Gentry series because the Anita Blake series is sinking fast in my opinion. Ah, but I'm rambling.
I always think that when people say others are cursing a child to a life of torment. Kids managed to change my name from Kellina to Kuh-weiners, and Kelli to Smelly Kelli. There are no safe names.
I love Laurell K Hamilton. I like the Merry series a lot better than the Anita Blake series.. I don't know.. it may be because I am bored with Anita. I love Merry though.
I love it, but wouldn't use it for the "Gay" thing, unfortunately :( Not in any English-speaking country, anyway. It's too bad kids are cruel, because this is one of my favorites. Maybe as a middle..?
