EDIT: MN that works with Denis (boy)?

buggles · January 2011

Which 3-syllable MNs work with the boy FN, LN:

Denis _______ Laity.

Where Denis is pronounced: Deh-nis

and Laity is pronounced: Lay- tee.

would you consider the spelling Dennis or Denis? When I read the subject of your post, my first thought was that you were trying to come up with an alternative spelling of the female name Denise.

Any particular reason for butchering the spelling of Dennis?

Personally I think Michael, Andrew, Matthew, John all sound nice. Something traditional would sound best next to an older name like Dennis.

Huh? Denys? Before your explanation, I was pretty sure the name was pronounced Den-eyes or Denise. Denys, imo, looks awful. Why, may I ask, are you spelling it that way?

Denys Alexander Laity

Denys Solomon Laity

Denys Christopher Laity

Denys Timothy Laity

Denys Benjamin Laity

I personally like Denys Christopher Laity.

I don't like that spelling of Denys. I realize it is a legitimate spelling, but if you are living in America, I think most people will assume it is misspelled. If it is a family name or you have a strong Ukrainian heritage, then go ahead and use it. Otherwise I would spell it Dennis.

With that spelling my first thought was to pronounce it like Denny's the restaurant.

Sure! I'll change it to Denis.

Thanks.

I thought it was butchering Denise too. Inserting a random y in a boy's name makes it look really feminine. And no one is going to get that pronunciation.

Dennis Matthew

Dennis Richard

Dennis Aaron

That's a great 3-syllable MN. Hadn't thought of it before. I think I'll add it to my list.

Keep the suggestions coming!

Thanks!

Like, for the sake of this post, or for good? I hope you mean for good.

Denis Christopher is a great suggestion. I think pretty much anything with 1 or 3 syllables is going to work well.

Seriously! I see everyone's point about what they first thought (another reason for testing it here). So I'd rather be safe.

Sorry - I think it needs two Ns. Otherwise, it's one little jot away from p3nis.

I realize that French may not be popular where you are from, but where I'm from Denis is pronounced Den-ee. That's what I originally thought when I saw your post. Why are using only one 'n'? Is it just personal preference? Like the PP up above said, if you are using it as an English pronunciation then I would worry about Denis-P$nis being used as a nickname.

To answer your original question Christopher, Alexander, Sebastien, Jonathon would all work as mn's.

Nah. I'll stick with Denis. Where I'm from they say Denis as Deh-nis not Dee-nis. Good catch though! Geeked I hadn't thought of that.

I do like your 3-syllable MNs too.

TY.
