I think we've finally came up with our Baby Names. How can I spell this one?

Hi.. I am due on January 19th of 09'!!


We won't know what we are having until August 14th (if bub cooperates) :)





But what do you think of the names we have so far


Boy: Shayde(n) Ezra Runyon (Ezra is a family name and we haven't picked between Shayde and Shayden yet)


Gril: Kaija Reigne Runyon





We are having trouble with spelling Kaija... Nothing looks good when we write it down...


It is supposed to be pronounced K-Asia


Like Asia with a K in front of it...





So what do you think and can you help us with some different forms of spelling...

I think we've finally came up with our Baby Names. How can I spell this one?
Shayden


is a brilliant name for a boy


Keisia


or


Kaysia


look and sound perfect


Keisia Reigne (Rayne)


and


Shayden Ezra


are beautiful names


xx
Reply:I just found this.


It's so weird because my name is Kayzia (like Asia with a K in front, that's actually how I explain how to pronounce my name to people).


It's also sort of peculiar because my little brothers' name is Ezra.


I just thought that was a little funny. Report Abuse

Reply:I don't like Kaija i thought it was (kah-jah) or (ki-jah)





Kasia (what about asia with a K....i think it looks good and it's easy to pronounce.)


Kajia


Kasya


Kaesia (i like this one....)


Kaesya


Kaesia


Kaysia


Kaysha

as for the boy I like Shayden better because it sounds better altogether.....and the other one is just too much like 'shade'..... also if you go with Shayden you can call him Shayde or Shay.....








good luck and best wishes. God bless.
Reply:Everones doing all the -ayden And everything rhyming with (aiden cayden hayden etc..........) But I think Shayde Is really nice. It has a masculine tone when thinking of a boy. And it also seems to have an aire of beautifulness to consider it for a girl As well!!








(i'm sorry i didn't care for the girls name you put up)
Reply:Have to agree with red lipstick





When i saw the name i thought it was "kar jah"





I like Kasia, very pretty name





Could spell it Kaysia, which i think looks good or Kaysha








THIS IS COMING FROM A GUY......LOL

Beautiful girl name :)
Reply:I would spell it like it sounds because I thought it was Kay-ja before you spelled it like you are going to pronounce it, she will have a horrible time if you spell it like that.
Reply:Shay Ezra Runyon (Shayde just sounds weird and Shayden seems feminine).





Kasia Reigne Runyon will be the easiest to spell and to pronounce.
Reply:Kazia


Kasia


Kaysia


Kayzia
Reply:I like Shayden better than Shayde..


As for the girl, why not spell it like Asia with a K - just like it's pronounced? Kasia.
Reply:Kyasia
Reply:I like Shayden, and you could try spelling the girl's name like this:


Kayja


Kaja





?? Hope this helps. Let us know what you decide!
Reply:Do you mean - kaiya? im not sure but that is my neice' name and she is soo adorable!!!! its pronounce like guy with a k instead than ahh....kaiya
Reply:Kaeja?





I like Shayden better than just Shayde.
Reply:thats my sisters name! She spells it Kaysha
Reply:I prefer Shayde... and I love Ezra!





As for Kaija... it doesn't look right to me... and it kind of reminds me of Kujo. What about Caysia? Or Kaysia?
Reply:Kaija Reigne? I have no idea how that is even supposed to be pronounced. Looks like it might be Kia Renee? If that is the case that is how you should spell it.





Shayde sounds like a Dungeons and Dragons character. Are you going to give him a staff and a cloak so that he can go on a quest?





Edited to add: K-Asia? WTF? Just spell it Kasia then. She sounds like a Dungeons and Dragons character, too. Kasia the Ranger!





Edited to add again: Oh, I read the whole question. You said you were going to call him Shayde for short, anyway. You can have all of the reasons you want for the name, it doesn't change the fact that is sounds ridiculous. Have fun with that.
Reply:One thing to keep in mind is that your child will


be using this name for a lifetime and giving it


to people to write down thousands of times.





If it is an unusual name, as your choices are,


then the spelling should be as phonetic as possible,


because that will reduce the numbers of times it


gets messed up.





What I would do is ask people how THEY would spell


"Kasia" (when you say it - not online), and go with


the most common first guess. It wouldn't hurt to do


this over the phone, because that is not the same as


in person and will have to be done many times.





You might end up with something like Kaysha, Kaisha,


or Keisha (like Geisha - which itself will probably appear


many times during the child's life).





Also do the reverse test: give someone the written name


and ask them to say it. If it's a more phonetic spelling


people won't have to guess how to pronounce it.


Note the comments here on how people put different


pronunciations on some of the spellings.





With the middle name it's less important, but, for


example, Reigne has no obvious pronunciation.


"Rain", "Renya" ... who knows ?
