Kahlyer (collier) or Kuinlynn (quinlynn) for a girl

[Julia35]

Kizely is pretty. I'm from the US, and don't like unique spellings, although I do like siblings to share the first letter of their name.

I think Kemper is really cute with Kizely!

I love Quinn as a name and I also like Keltie, Kadance, Kelsie, or Kenzie. I wouldn't dare give my child something too difficult to pronounce or spell, I remember those kids in class always getting laughed at when the teacher buggered the heck out of their name. Not worth those sorts of memories.

Karina is lovely!

What about "Kimya" there's a really cool American singer called Kimya Dawson who did the Juno soundtrack.

I'm in Canada, and I have to agree with the original respondents, UK or not. The spellings, to me, are horrifying and look like how my 5 year old would phonetically spell it if he was asked.

I love your daughter's name, and hun, there is NOTHING wrong with a "correct" or "proper" spelling when the sound is the same as your daughter's. Kizely and Quinlynn are gorgeous sibsets.

I love that you are looking for a unique name, but I'd stick to more traditional spellings. As someone who has a last name that is unpronounceable to most people (even though it seems obvious to me), I can tell you that correcting people gets really old. I can't imagine how maddening it would be if my first name gave people problems!

Of the two, I'd choose Kuinlynn, but I think your daughter would thank you if you spelled it with a 'Q.' It's still unique, and sounds good phonetically with your other daughter's name, but imo is nicer because it is less matchy. But just my opinion. Sorry, I hope I haven't offended you, I know names are hard!

Im sorry but they both look a bit ridiculous to be honest...

I would never guess those pronunciations in a million years they, I would pronounce them:

Kal-year (although at first glance I thought Ky-lar)
and
Coon-lin

What about going for something like Kyler/Kylar?

p.s how do you say Kizely?

is it:

Kizz-lee
or
Kiz-e-lee
or
Kye-zlee

Sorry I agree with this... I would have never guessed your pronunciation from those spellings either.

Call me Katie Hopkins, but I always find badly spelt names make me think "Chav".



.......
ETA: I'm sure my subtle British humor, along with the use of the word Chav and mentioning Katie Hopkins will be lost on the OP. Katie Hopkins is a person who is famous for nothing other than being famous and overly opinionated. During the autumn she was featured on a daytime chat show saying she could tell a child's social class by their name and would allow or disallow her children to befriend children based on this.

This is a Chav

And this is Katie Hopkins.

Hope this makes my post more clear.

I'm American and I have to say the spellings of your names are strange and confusing. I don't think it's fair to assume the ladies on here don't "get it" because they're British...

I like Kizely though

 

[KylasBaby]

With an uncommon name myself (Kyla) I know it was very hard growing up with people always mispronouncing my name (mostly Kayla). I HATED my name for the longest time. It was only when I was in my 20s that I just accepted it and realized people are going to mess it up. So coming from someone with an uncommon name, go for a spelling people will be able to pronounce.

 

[lowblow1]

I prefer the spellings in the brackets. I find deliberately misspelled/daft spellings horrible.

But.
Quinlynn and Collier would be nice. At least you're not subjectig the kid to a lifetime of mispronunciation and re spelling over and over

 

[TTCabundle]

I'm not too keen on the spelling but I love Kuinlynn. Although imo, if you and DH like the spelling then that's all that matters x
