can't stop thinking about this name...

so i work at a dry cleaner & a woman probably in her mid 30s comes in with the name ARKAYDIAH. it took a second to register but when i said it out loud back to her my heart just took to it & now i can't stop thinking about it. i really like it alot & she said people call her "kaydi". just curious as to what others think about this name?

Is that a made up spelling of Arcadia? Whatever it is, I can't get behind it.

erajp51 · May 2015

it must be. that's how she spelled it when she dropped her cleaning off.

If it's spelled Arcadia, then it's okay. Otherwise, it looks like a made up mess of a name.

Very confusing spelling. It makes me think of an arcade. Maybe you could take the R out and name here Akadia? Just a thought

I wonder if her parents super loved Pac-Man and skeeball? I'd definitely stay away from this name unless it's spelled properly. All I can think of when I see the nn kaydi is Cady Herron from Mean Girls.
"It's pronounced like Katie."
"Yeah, I'm going to call you Cady."

Love the Mean Girls reference @MixedBerries88. Name your kid that and it seems you don't want to be like a regular mom, you want to be a cool mom! (See what I did there?)

"You girls keep me young!"

i didn't mean i was wanting to spell it that way. i had just heard it for the first time ever & really liked it!

There is a town near me called Arcadia. I'm sure there are others. That spelling is atrocious!

That spelling looks trashy. Arcadia isn't bad, NMS, but not bad, but... Arkaydiah looks like you fell asleep on the keyboard.

it was a woman's name that brought cleaning into my job. i didn't ever say i would spell it that way. i just liked the name in general when i heard it & i never ever heard it before then.

I'm aware of that, I can read, too. Just a commentary on her spelling. Not the first person on TB or even this thread to give commentary on a bizarre spelling someone encounters. No need to get upset.

Arcadia is the name of a city here in So Cal... so that's what I think of. Doesn't seem like a name for a person. Her spelling, Arkaydiah, is atrocious.
