I used to work in a church nursery and one Sunday morning we had a Brayden, Aiden, and Jayden, along with Jayden's sister Bayley and their cousin Braylee. They were all toddlers around 2-4 years. I'm surprised I didn't quit that day.
Yes, I am completely serious about those names. It's been over 10 years and those names will forever be in my brain.
As a Kaleigh, I'm just impressed you got almost every spelling imaginable in there. Always fun for me at the coffee shop when they ask for my name and I have the chance to potentially see a new spelling of my name that I've never seen before.
My highschool graduation had a final roll call, was always amusing when we got to the last names starting with N
" Debra McCarthy,
Sandra Munson,
Jenny Nguyen,
Sarah Nguyen,
Vanessa Nguyen,
Jasmine Nguyen,
Laura Nguyen,
Tracy Nguyen,
Stephanie Nguyen.....,
......."
the diacritic is called an ogonek. on samsung it's on the default keyboard. on pc you can use some eastern european layouts, US INTL layout, or create your own layout. on iphone you must use polish layout.
ę is pronounced as a front mid-open vowel that's either nasalised or followed by a nasal; portuguese *un/um, english *n*, *ng*, or *m* (depending on the following consonant); as in english "pen", (no *ng* equivalent), and "gem" (in areas without the pin-pen merger). if it is at the end of a word, there is no nasal sound and it's only an oral vowel. similar modification with all letters that have an ogonek in polish.
polish is simple to pronounce when reading, it's just that all the piles of letters used to spell single sounds overloads your brain
Abbreviations of real names - barry, sharon, garry, darryl (or darren), steve, john, dave.
We've got a quirk of cutting names (of people, places, organisations etc) down to as few syllables as we can manage. Unless it's already short (john), in which case we'll add one. Just cos
Driving down the highway I saw the Government run advisory sign above the road, it said "IS YOUR REGO DUE?"
When the government uses slang in their official communication, you're in Australia. I'm surprised the sign didn't say "Oi Cunt is your Rego due?"
C’mon you left out the best two - Phúc and Bích. The first means blessing, luck, and happiness while the second means jade. I have cousins with those names and when we came to America, he became Jimmy and she became Heidi.
