name with a lot of Y's

Just saw this name on a resume at work - Mykyta Synytskyy.  I think it's russian?

Re: name with a lot of Y's

  • wow that is a lot of Ys...but if that's how it's spelled then i'm ok w/it... i am just not a fan of turning regular names into something "unique" by replacing the letter i with Y
  • Hi Sandra!!!  I need to send you a message on FB sometime.  I got your last message and never replied.  Smile

    That name looks like a legitimate Russian or Ukranian name.  I've probably mentioned this before, but I actually saw a contestant on Wheel of Fortune once whose name was spelled "Nykky"...as in short for Nicole.  Stick out tongue

    I'm with Jaime. To me that looks like a legit Russian name, so I'm OK with it. What I hate is when people try to take a regular name and make it "special" by adding y...like if Jaime started spelling her name Jayymy lol.

    And you know, I never thought about this before, but I think part of the reason the y trend annoys me so much is because for some reason I have a stripper connotation with them. Like if I saw someone with a name spelled Jayymy I'd assume it was a porn star or a stripper lol. That's probably really bad of me...

    to be clear, i agree with this too.  i just wasn't aware there are legit names with that many Y's Smile

    I agree with you, Sandra.  Even though it seems like a legitimate European name, I'm not used to seeing so many "y"s, either.  I'm more used to seeing something like "Mikita" versus "Mykyta".  But I do know that "y" and "i" are sometimes used interchangably.  Smile
