which spelling?

[pixydust]

We wont necessarily be using this name for our baby but it is one we have considered. The problem is; it's a fairly unusual name and can be spelled in many different ways... so i dont think there is a "correct" spelling.

Which spelling looks right to you?

Zenon (the greek way, meaning Son of Zeus)
Xenon (the element, i.e. Xenon bulbs)
Zennon
Xennon
Zennan

or another way?

 

[CedarWood]

Probably Zenon

 

[mads.mom]

I'm with Zenon. Last one I'd pick is Xenon. I wouldn't know how to say that name if I looked at so I'd go with the one that's easiest for others to read.

 

[Auntie]

I would go with Zenon

 

[Tattoo]

Zennon

 

[RubyRainbows]

Any of the versions without the "x"

 

[RubyRainbows]

Zennon would be my 1st pick!

it depends on how you want it pronounced....
Xenon and Zenon i would read as Zee-non
Zennon, xennon, zennan i would read as Zeh-non

but I am in Canada so Zee-non may be how it is usually pronounced in the US and its said differently in the UK

I like Zennon or Zennan depending also on how you would like it pronounced, I think the best way to spell a name is the way it wont be pronounced wrong

Xenon and Zenon i would read as Zee-non
Zennon, xennon, zennan i would read as Zeh-non

That's exactly what I thought... apart from I'm not Canadian lol!
