why does almost no one like the name Camryn?

[Adeline120]

Just curious because i personally think it's a pretty and cute name but no one seems to like it.

It sounds like Cameron gone wrong!

It looks like txtspk

Awful. Why not Cameron?

Girl or boy? How do you pronounce it?

Is it a unisex name or for boys? It looks like someone can't spell Cameron.

Because it looks like Cameron, but trying to be modern with a weird spelling

I agree with @4Mongrels. I think names that look like misspellings/creative variations tend to be unpopular, especially y-spellings. (e.g. Madysyn, Aliviyah, Jaysyn etc.). Cameron is quite nice and definitely underused.

It looks like a stupid version of Cameron.

Because it looks like you can't spell

Well, it's pretty awful. It's the surname of a recent PM who blithely threw a referendum that resulted in the current Brexit omnishambles, only with subliterate txtspk tweakings.

See also Jaxxon or Makkaylah or K8.

Makes me think of the car, Toyota Camry.

Oooh, @BoneAppleTeaa, that's what it reminded me of! Shame really, Octavia would also be a nice name if it weren't for Skoda...

I would probably still use the name Octavia, as it has history of being an actual Latin girls name.

Yup, looks like Cameron with an odd spelling.

@SorbusAucuparia

Oooh, *@BoneAppleTeaa*, that's what it reminded me of! Shame really, Octavia would also be a nice name if it weren't for Skoda...

Camry dates back to ancient times, too - 1982!

Is a really shit name. It means crooked nose and looks like you don't know how to spell.

I like it. Don't take any notice of anyone else. I think its lovely x

Because you / dc would forever be having to spell it out. Go with the phonetically equal Cameron and make everyone's life easier.

Sorry but I think it looks like the name of an acne cream.

I'm one of the few people on here who actually likes non-traditional spellings - I love names like Katelyn, Kacie, Myah, Libbie... but Camryn isn't nice. The original name itself has a horrible meaning as someone has already pointed out, and it's not very feminine. Spelling it with a "y" doesn't make it any more feminine, and it makes no sense phonetically either, because it suggests it should be pronounced "cam-rin" rather than "cam-ron". That being said, if you really love it then there's no reason why you shouldn't choose it.

I don’t like Cameron but with a weird spelling it’s even worse.

Because no one's ever heard of it

Because it's not a name it is a misspelling of a name. I bet you want to use it for a girl too.

and it's not very feminine

That will be because Cameron is a boy's name.
