Dawsyn?

jessika17

What are your thoughts. I think I really like the name Dawsyn for a girl. Yes I know it will be missed spelled a lot. I'm used to that since my other 2 daughters names are always spelled wrong, Jocelynne and Keira.

Yes I know people might think it's a boy. I get that a lot with my other daughter Quinn.

No. My thoughts are pretty much as you described.

Why not just use Dawson? The Y doesn't make it more feminine

I'm not a fan of the 'y' either. Dawson looks a bit better to me, and will help her avoid having to constantly spell her name in the future.

I like Dawson for a boy....

Dawsyn for a girl...not so much

I think it's absolutely terrible and if I saw a little kid with that name I would think her parents are uneducated. To be clear, I don't mean that as an attack on you because I don't know you and you may be very well educated but it's just the general first impression I would get from that name spelled that way.

Edit: autocorrect

Dawsyn is aweful.

zomg the BNB elders are twitching somewhere in their cyber graves.

I love gender-bending names, but I do not like this one (I really like your DD's name, Quinn!)

I think it's terrible. Dawson is ok for a boy, but Dawsyn is not a name.

@lebebexo, not all the elders are gone. and they're still judging you.

Not sure why they would be judging me. But ok.

I wouldn't even pronounce "Dawsyn" the same way as "Dawson." Y doesn't just take on the sound of whatever vowel you choose to replace with it. It has its own sound.

I don't love Dawson, but would accept it, on a boy. No for a girl. It will never make me think of anything but the TV Show Dawson's Creek, which isn't really something I'd like to name my kid after.

Dawson is a name for a boy, not a girl. Adding the y does not make it more feminine. If you don't mind it being misspelled, look for an uncommon girl name like Keira, which is a beautiful name. Some ideas for you:

Casey
Felicia
Francine
Kendall
Marilyn
Meghan
Ophelia
Paige
Priscilla
Regan

That is a terrible name for a girl and terrible spelling for anyone. Good lord do not punish your child with that name.

Yep.

I like Quinn for a girl.  I would give a serious side-eye to someone who named her child Dawsyn.  It's a misspelled version of a last name.  Sorry, it's awful.

CML11

Oh no! It's awful for so many reasons. Like train wreck awful

Artsywife07

No, please don't do it! 

brooklynesque

Awful. Truly.

Emilywooddesign

I agree. It's terrible and looks like you are trying too hard to be original, I don't know what's worse, the name Dawsyn or the spelling. Your other kids have great names, please reconsider.

magsugar13

Glad to see everyone agrees!

mrsjenni

If you like the name, why not just spell it correctly?

allthecheese

Op you are right it would be misspelled a lot. Starting with when you write it on her birth certificate. Chose a real name, correctly spelled. And I know some people like gender neutral names, but PLEASE give your daughter a girl's name!

whenwillieversleep

My first thought was ...Yuck. Dawson on a boy is ok. Dont like it on a girl at all. Dawsyn or whatever you did to that name is awful.

I don't like how it sounds and the spelling makes it even worse.

ahershe

I have a student named Emyli. It makea me think that her parents messed up on the birth certificate. Just spell it normal! I don't get this "creative" spelling. It's not creative; it's annoying.

4N6s

Terrible.
"Creative" spellings come off as uneducated to me.

LuvLoveXo

Don't do that to your child.

Maladroit

I hope you reconsider.  Quinn is such a beautiful name on a girl, Dawsyn (Daw-Sine) is how I'd pronounce it because Y makes a totally different sound than O does.  I don't mind Dawson on a girl (NMS but I wouldn't side-eye it), but the way you want to spell it really comes off as silly/uneducated.

I think Quinn on a girl is awful. It's a boys name. And Dawsyn is just terrible. Pick a girl name. There are so many great names.
