Why Y???

in Baby Names

I'm so sick of seeing Y replacing all of our vowels.  2 baby names I saw in the newspaper this morning:

Payge (girl)

Sybastyn (boy)

Lilypie Second Birthday tickers

    Indifferent  I don't mind a random Y every once in a while. But Sybastyn? I used to love that name...may it rest in peace.

    I don't get it either. I mean when I was 10 I thought it would be awsome if my cat was named Jazmyn instead of Jasmine, but then I left elementary school and the idea wasn't so cool anymore.

    The only time I've seen "y" replace an "i" that I actually liked was for the name Myles.

    There's just no excuse.  NONE.  I once met a Vyvyan.  That's supposed to say Vivian.  I almost choked.

    Maybe I'll change my name to Jennyfyr.

    I actually like the use of `y`s in some names, but those are just aweful

    I have a "Y" in my name. My dad is Rodger with a "D", so he decided that it's only fair if my sister and I had to spell our names everytime someone needed to write them down.

    My mom also has an "E" in her name, which is a legit spelling, just a little less common.

    I will agree that 97% of the names that have "Y"'s in them look ridiculous. Especially when there's more than one.

    Me too!  I don't understand the whole "Y" obsession.
