How are these names?

Question

Sydyzen (pronounced like citizen) for a little boy
Janeth (pronounced like Janet) for a girl

I would not name my kids anything like this. I was asking what people thought of them. And I don't even use caffiene, never mind hard drugs!

Answer 1

Sydyzen????????????????
are u serious!

Answer 2

Don't care for the boy name at all.

I know a lady named Janeth (pronounced Janet) and she constantly has her name mispronounced with the "th" sound on the end. No one understands that the "h" is silent. If you want it pronounced Janet just spell it that way.

Answer 3

Sydyzen will be teased forever (Sydyzen Kane, Senior Sydyzen, etc.) Janeth will be called Janeth, not Janet, and will spend her whole life correcting people.

My advice. Give your kids names that aren't regular words (Citizen, Apple, Lexus, etc) and spell them the way they're said. If your kids want to change it to a creative spelling when they're old enough to think of that sort of thing, you can encourage it or even help them think of ways to change it. But this way when they're entering the job market, they'll still have their proper name on their license and all the tax stuff so they can return to Janet or Rebecca or Chris instead of Janeth or Wrabekah or Krys. Those types of names just aren't real well accepted in the professional world.

I'm all for creative names but you have to remember that your kids aren't going to be babies and toddlers forever. In school there is teasing and as adults, they may get further in the world if people take them seriously.

Answer 4

I do not think those are really great names because they are just too different. If you want Janet, go with this spelling. but the name citizen for a boy will get him teased.

Answer 5

I think they are horrible names - Janet isn't horrible, but if you're going to use it then it should be spelled like it sounds without the h at the end.

Answer 6

To be honest I kinda like Sydyzen for a boy, it is extremly unique and catchy! Could be really cute depending on middle/first and last name. I'm not sure I like the spelling of Janeth the h on the end, even though silent, makes me feel like I have a lysp. Good Luck!

Answer 7

These names are unique. But imagine yourself calling each name over a crowded playground. That's how I was told to test the choice of a name.

Answer 8

They sound ok to me, it's your choice.
Why wouldn't you just consider naming your boy Citizen and your girl Janet??

Answer 9

Both of them have the drawback that people will have trouble spelling/pronouncing them in the way you intend.

Answer 10

Please, god... remember these kids will have to be in school some day. Other children are blunt, cruel, and jump at the opportunity to make fun of their classmates for whatever reason. Perhaps these could make good middle names.

Answer 11

One day they might change them. They are hard to spell and they will be so tired of spelling / correcting it for other people.

Please think of the children!!!!!
