Question

what is an underscore? my wife wants to cal our daughter kacie_lei what dose _ mean?

Answer 1

maybe she wants a space between the names????

Answer 2

an underscore is usually put to leave a space, like in emails. I don't think your wife should call your daughter kacie_lei.

Answer 3

I like the name ( and the variant spelling) but I cannot see the significance of the underscore. On the other hand I can't see any reason why NOT to use it.

Answer 4

Main Entry: 1un·der·score
Pronunciation: '&n-d&r-"skor
Function: transitive verb
1 : to draw a line under : UNDERLINE
2 : to make evident : EMPHASIZE, STRESS
3 : to provide (action on film) with accompanying music

Answer 5

underscores shouldn't be used in names

try a - instead of a _

if she's just trying to give the child a "cool" name it will just look ridiculous in later years

also, Kacie just looks horrible, try a different spelling alternative, like Casey, people don't like it when others spell their name wrong, I guarantee no-one will spell Kacie without your daughter having to spell it out for them

Answer 6

It is a device to visually separate words to allow them to be easily read by eye without inserting a space. If your wife insists on this name, she should use a hyphen: Casey-Lee.

Answer 7

That your wife probably had an affair with someone from on-line, and wants the baby to have a name to remind her of it?

Answer 8

its just a space between the words that is usually used on the internet when you sign up for something that doesn't allow spaces in the username/screename

Answer 9

She wants to name your daughter that?
It means she has rectal cranial inversion. Otherwise known as "head up rear end."
