Baby Names

"y" trend for boy names?

I always thought the "y" trend was an ill attempt to make boy names seem more feminine for a girl names... but lately I've been seeing boy names with unnecessary "y"s!! I'm so confused.

Today's gem-> Bensyn (future boy) 

wtf is going on people!?

    It is just a nasty trend that has gone overboard. It is ridiculous. Huge side-eye to the parent's.

    I was looking through DS1's school yearbook and have seen:

    Holdyn, Jaymes, Blayk, Emersyn, and Connyr

    :dies:

    Those are bad. So bad.

  • Yep, Y's are special because they can be a consonant or a vowel... but some morons seem to think that makes Y a magical letter that can replace anything!  Ick!

    I'd probably have to think twice before I let my kid go play at a Bensyn or Kamryn's house, because I'd imagine his parents are pretty ditzy or trashy....

    Yes... agreed. All of these are atrocious. The pronunciations are completely changed!! I read that as Conneer. Bleh... wow that's almost like Blayk. Great, a barfing noise :(

  • I am not a fan. Heck I don't even like names like Avery or Kelly on boys, because they are too feminine with the "eee" sound at the end.

  • The y trend is nauseating. It's taking "unique" to a level it never needed to go. I wonder if these kids will get frustrated as they grow up with misspelled names.
  • A girl I went to HS with is pregnant and naming her son Landyn.  I hate adding unnecessary y's to names.
