Watching "Bringing Home Baby" (for the names, yes) and the couple named their son "Devin" - but guess how they spelt it....?

Devyin

WTF kind of spelling is that? It doesn't even make sense.

Yeah, if they wanted to be "kreyativ" they could have at least spelled it Devyn, although that looks more feminine.
Spelling it like Devyin makes me think its pronounced like Devy-in instead of Dev-in.

I pronounce it the exact same way... I don't know what they were thinking with both the "Y" and the "I".

I know... I'd pronounce it "Dev-EE-in"

Nope, it was a boy. Their first son was "Junior"... ick.

Devin is completely a boys name to me - I know 2 Devan's, 2 Devin's and a Devon and they're all boys... personally I prefer the "a" spelling because of association, a really good friend of mine spells his name that way.

That's ridiculous.
It's forever going to be pronounced dev-EE-in. Poor kid. :(

That reminds me of a name I saw once, in which the mother claimed it was the Hebrew spelling: Kaiyla.

I watch TLC all day long just to hear the names :) Its my favorite part!

That is an awful spelling.
Devin always reminds me of the processed meat (devon). I honestly don't know why anyone would name their child after that.

Hee! I ate devon on the weekend!
