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.

I don’t mind it

@IsadoraQuagmire

All the people who haven't heard of the name before, haven't you ever heard of Camryn Manheim? I've seen her in dozens of films and tv shows. She is the only Camryn I've ever heard of though.

First thing I thought of! That legal show she did with Dylan McDermott

Just because one actress has a (made up) name doesn’t make it a real name.

I don’t understand it.

Cameron with a ‘unique’ spelling?

But it looks like Cam-RIN. Which sounds made up and a bit stripper/drag queen.

It’s not a name OP

It’s just a weird collection of letters that sound like someone drunk trying to say Cameron.

Normal middle class person here with three traditionally named children. I really like it!

I would not recognise it as a name and most adults would not want a 'cute' name.

Cameron without half the vowels. Its worth the full spelling.

It looks like it’s made up.

Awful, would make people question the parent who chooses it, would either think you can't spell or be arsed to find the proper spelling, or even worse that you're aiming for a 'special' name that no one else has.

It's a terrible name.

Because it’s a made up name

Sounds like the Poundshop version of Cameron

Cameron is likeable

I know someone that called their kid Camdyn and that's bad enough.

Please make it stop.

Because it’s a made up name that the owner would have to spell with a really embarrassed voice, for the rest of their life. I bet large amounts of money they would change their name at the earliest possible opportunity as well!

I knew an Aimeey a few years back. She had changed the spelling to Amy fairly soon after turning 18.

Are people assuming that Camryn is pronounced the same as Cameron (or Camdyn the same as Camden)? I totally wouldn't.
One of the things that confuses me about creative spellings is that I always assumed that people are using them because they want to make the pronunciation clear - eg they don't want CAM - uh - ruhn they want CAM- rin. But then I make an effort to pronounce them as they're spelt and apparently they are meant to be pronounced as the original spelling
It does my head in.
Eg Georgia is george- uh. Jorja should be hore-ha but I know that most English people with that spelling want it pronounced george-uh. But then you come across a Jorjia - to my mind they clearly want the extra i pronounced otherwise why use it? So it's george-ee-uh. But no it's supposed to be pronounced Georgia. It does my head in!

Well it looks like a misspelling so poss that.

Unfortunately pp's are right in that it does make the parents look stupid.

Christ, if you look on FB there's hundreds of them. Mostly women/girls. The spelling just looks so odd.

As a made-up name it's not the worst I've heard.

Are people assuming that Camryn is pronounced the same as Cameron (or Camdyn the same as Camden)? I totally wouldn't.

I parts of America they would be. Weird but true.

Bu that's because you are saying the ryn sound in your head as a British person and comparing it to the ron sound in your head as a British person.

Say them both as an American and it's less of a leap.

Mystified by the amount of posters that take the meaning of a name so seriously that they wouldn't use it even if they like the sound of the name! It's not like it means Kitten-Killer.

I have a Cameron whose nose is perfectly shaped. My name means something pretty much the opposite of me and I don't give two shits about it.

Sorry for derail - I don't like Camryn for a girl but it's not my DC!

@IsabelleSE19 I wouldn't normally care about the name meaning but if you give a child such a weird non name as camryn then people will end up spell checking it on google and then the meaning comes up on the search and it becomes apparent. I didn't go out to look up the meaning but when I did it went from being a weirdly spelt and shit name to a shit name with a shit meaning too.
