I love the name Savannah pronounced sah-van-ah and sah-vah-na, but I like the 2nd one more and since Savannah is so popular as the first pronounciation I’d like to get a new spelling for it pronounced sah-vah-nah. I don’t really like Savahnah and can’t think of really anything else. Any help?

Ask and ye shall receive! (Again, someone makes the mistake that if they want to name their kid a popular name, they should misspell it to make them “special.” [sound of forehead slap.]) Some of the many, many suggestions:

Sevahna, Sivahna, Savahna, Sevanah, Savanah, Savonna, Sivonna, Sevonna, Sevonah, Savonah, Sivonah, Savaunnah, Savaunah, Sivaunna, Sevaunah, Sevanah, Sivanna, Savana, Sovanna, Sabhanna, Sivaughna, Syvahnah.

These are some of my fave boys and girls names and i would sooo much appreciate any comments you have!!! thanx! (or just pick out your faves from my list if u dont want to comment on them all!)
Girls:
Ariana (aw ree AH nuh)
Aubriana (aw bree AH nuh)
Ambria (am BREE uh)
Avery (AY vree)
Brinley (BRIN lee)
Charity (CHAIR it ee)
Demi (DEM ee)
Desirae (des er AY)

OK, I’ll cut this off right here. This lady’s crazy. She clearly sits around all day thinking up adorable names that work very well on cats. Scads and scads of them. Then she spells them phonetically VERY carefully, yet can’t make a cohesive sentence on her own.

Havana (huh VAN uh)
Jade (JAYD)
Jerica (JAIR ick uh)
Kamrei (KAM ree)
Karis (kuh REESE)
Kaylana (kay LAW nuh)

Here she gets mean. She dishes out some names that aren’t even close to names, then insists they get pronounced in ways unlike they’re spelled. I’ll cut to the end.

Phoenix (FEE nicks)
Rhianyn (ree ANN in)
Shailyn (SHAY linn)
Siena (see EHN uh)
Trinity (TRIN it ee)
Valerie (VAL ehr ee)

Valerie? What the hell kind of name is that? Freak!

I heard the name Zavary today for a boy. I love it! What do you all think? I also heard the name Toka for a girl,What do you think of that name?

Hey, Toka! Wanna go for a smoke-a? How about some cocoa? She really likes mocha! Let’s buy an artichoka! She lives la vida loca!

Zavary – sounds like Col. Klink discussing a gravy.

How do you pronounce and what do these names mean?
Calaya
Fainne
Salome < span style="color: #990033;">
Calaya = JAY-son
Fainne = JAY-son
Salome = cray-ZEE lay-DEE

Hi, I would like some opinions on these two boy names for girls? I really like them.
Brandyn, I am really liking this name? Curious about different spellings? Brandon, Brandin? Branden?
Jayson, Also curious about different spellings? Jacen? Jaycen? Jaysen? Tyler?

This was actually written by Dr. Evil’s father in a mad attempt to back up his claim he invented the question mark. He used it for all punctuation, whether it was a question or not, until the authorities caught up with him. In his madness, he also thought T-Y-L-E-R was pronounced “Jason.”

Wren for a girl? What do you think?

Why not Mockingbird? Vulture? Lark? Raptor? Blue-footed Boobie?

My last name is Tinkletop. For some reason my wife objects to naming our son Timothy, Timmy for short. I think it’s a good, memorable name.

You’re right.

I really like Freddie Prinze jr. and heard his father was famous and died tragically. What was his name?

His name was Scatman.

It seems to me that the name “Scatman” is a great one. you know: after semi-singer and comedian Scatman Crothers.

I keep envision having a son named Scatman. I can imagine everyone he meets saying, ‘What a cool name.’ Which is good because that way they’ll have something to like about him even if his personality is really off-putting. Or if he’s shallow or a bully when he’s like 13, when he should be getting into punk rock or something. At least they’ll think he has a hip name.

But don’t use it, cause I thought of it.

Damn! But your arguments are so compelling! If he grows up to be an asshole, people will still like him. And if he’s a meek nerd, no one will POSSIBLY find something mean to call him as is name is already a toilet insult.

And then Jack Nicholson will hit him in the chest with an axe.

My father-in-law has talked me into naming my new baby boy “Ovie Cecil [last name] IV.” I really don’t care for the name but I’m willing to name him that if I have a good nick-name. I need help!!

Don’t worry. You never could have seen it coming when you married Ovie Cecil III.

He can always grow up to be an off-Broadway theater award!
