Hmmm. Interesting sibling names.

Brooklynn Skyy (spelled with 2 ys just like the vodka as the mom told me) Samuel Bronx(goes by Bronx) and the newest addition Manhattan Ryann. I'm all for names that are a bit different. I do have a Kaydance after all, but I think naming a child Manhattan just so he fits in with the othe NYC siblings is a bit over the top.

the theme names don't bother me as much as the superfluous letters at the end of the names.  The "nn" & "yy" just make it look like someone doesn't know how to spell. I guess at least the Bronx kid isn't "Bronxx"

I was honestly surprised that she didn't spell it Bronxx. I thought it was until just now when she posted about Manahattan being born.

Yeah, the names themselves aren't THAT bad, but it's the yu-neek spellings I hate.

...Concrete jungle where dreams are made of....

And I'm guessing Manhattan is a girl, right?

Well, at least it wasn't Queens or Staten Island.

Or Hells Kitchen *snort*

Those are um, interesting, I suppose.

But not as interesting as these siblings I grew up with: Flash and Spring Flood.

And as far as I know, Ryann is a name (not pronounced Ryan but rather Ry-ann).  It's a girl's name.  So that is not mispelled (unless they ARE actually pronouncing it Ryan).

So it's really just the vodka name that wins the misspelling award!  LOL  (Just realized Brooklyn has the extra N on the end.)

Whoa.

I will admit to one of my children having Ryann as a middle name, but we weren't trying to be unique.  It's Ry (from Ryan) + ann (from Ann) to honor two family members.

LD -- I've always wanted to ask how you pronounce Kaydance and why you spelled it that way.  Not being snarky, just curious.  Is it how it sounds (like the letter "k" + the word "dance") or like cadence (cay-dents)?

L D

It is like Cadence. We spelled it that way because my MIL mn is Kay. We had already agreed on the name but not talked about spelling until we picked middle names for both names. Kennedy Renee (my fm and moms mn) and Kaydance Elaine (dhs step mo S mn who passed when we were pg with L). Mil made a few comments about using family names and not including her in any way. Plus I figured I she doesn't like Kaydance when she gets older she can always go by Kay.

And just found out for sure that Manhattan is a girl.
