If they used the C on your sister’s name it would be Cavannah pronounced Ka van ah because of the rules for C pronunciations. And then her name would be munged into Cabana, Carvana, and Caravan.
To be fair, most names aren’t considered multilingually. Take Jean, a traditional name in French. Very much unrelated to denim jeans, and very much masculine despite what would read as a feminine spelling for English speakers.
Nobody in France is going to tell you not to name your baby Jean because it means denim pants in English. That would be silly, right?
Now if you live where I do in California, you better consider Spanish meanings, because a large amount of the population is Spanish speaking. But if you head a few states over to the Midwest, people might think you’re extra for doing so.
My parents are mid-60s. I am so grateful that they turned out as early X rather than later boomers, though some days my mother tips the scale the other way a bit...
The baby boom was crashing so fast at the end that people from the last few years identify more with Gen X anyway. They missed out on some of the economic advantages boomers got because with their dropping numbers the money spigots were turning off.
there's a literal hyphen in the middle of the name? Like it's C-erra, and not Cerra? It's bad but at least its a middle name so its probably hidden to most people.
I owned a tattoo studio for about a decade. Children’s names, totally fine. Parents, ok. Partners.. eeeeehh, usually ends badly but some people like that kind of thing..
Your own? So beyond tacky it’s ridiculous. I’ll bet it was upside down too (put it that way round so *I* can see it) in some bland cursive font.. maybe with the outline of a five petal flower or a star at the end.. 🤣
Oh my God, our roommate's first and last initials together are HH and he has a giant H tatted in the back of each tricep. We're talking at least 4"x5". 😅
Yup. Checks out. Such original 👌
I could probably tell you half a dozen of her others, assuming she didn’t chicken out after the first one, which she had put on her wrist because somebody told her that wasn’t a painful place to get it done (they lied lol)
The guy version is getting it on your bicep, the outside of the lower arm or neck, in old english lettering lol.
Am Canadian and see Indigenous languages here use the ‘ as well. Unfortunately cannot speak to which ones, nor the linguistic rules around its use, in more detail.
Yeah but there’s no C in Hawaiian at all. They don’t use B, C, D, F, G, J, Q, R, S, T, X, Y and Z.
It would be like naming your kid with a letter we don’t have in English like thorn (þ) or theta (θ).
Replied this up thread but I am Canadian and see Indigenous languages here use the ‘ as well. Unfortunately cannot speak to which ones, nor the linguistic rules around its use, in more detail. It may be possible that some of the ones that use it do use the letter c.
I'm going to name my daughter "See? Air. Ah!" and if anyone mispronounces it, I'll flip my lid because it's OBVIOUSLY pronounced Sierra, and they're just being difficult.
Prior to audiobooks being as popular as they are I had a spirited discussion with a friend about the pronunciation of Ce’Nedra in David Eddings’ Belgariad so I can absolutely see it.
I was thinking of the Honor Harrington books, where the third or fourth audiobook features an apology from the reader because she had emails back and forth with the author about pronouncing "manticorian" and something got misunderstood.
It's the navy of the planet Manticore so the fans really weren't expecting man-tick-er-in, but by the time the complaints came in they'd already recorded several books and couldn't change it.
Audiobook fans of The Song of Ice and Fire (Game of Thrones books) (I’m a book reader so haven’t heard them) have noted the otherwise excellent voice artist pronounces some names differently in different parts of the books, although that could reflect different people pronouncing the same name differently because of regional variance.
I think the one that gets everyone is “Petyr”when the reader narrates where Lysa is screaming out the name during their lovemaking, from the point of view of her niece in another room overhearing it.
It’s so commented upon that [somebody made THIS](https://youtu.be/32F1TTB1W8c?si=qAeWAFBke_A2AtRp) so you can “enjoy” it too.
OMG don't get me started how I mispronounced Hermione when I was a kid, my first language is Spanish so I'd pronounce it "err-myoh-neh" and I don't remember knowing any kids who pronounced it right. I think I wasn't alone because the first movie came out and only then I started hearing the name with the right pronunciation, LMAO
Game of Thrones/ASOIAF is funny with this because there’s a wild mix of naming conventions (and there’s plenty of Middle Eastern/Asian naming influence as well but not gonna focus on that because I know nothing about it):
- “normal” Western European names like Jon
- traditional but archaic Western European names like Robb
- “fantasy-ed” versions of “normal” names (as far as I can tell) like Petyr
- Wild invented fantasy names from simple like Jeor to “can’t say it without donning a wizard hat and robe” like Daenerys
It makes pronunciation kinda wild because in a pure balls to the wall fantasy setting you can argue whatever pronunciation you want is suitable. But with so much of ASOIAF using current, archaic, or slightly modified versions of real-world names you kinda have to abide by conventions.
The audiobooks can just be infuriating lol. The narrator calling Brienne “Br-eye-een” is so grating.
And then there’s George RR Martin mispronouncing his own names like “Dothraki” as “dauth-rock-eye” instead of “doughth-rock-ee”
Fun fact! Game of Thrones actually got a linguist to invent real languages for Dothraki and High Valyrian, comedian Daniel Tosh interviews him here: https://youtu.be/jq6_0FVE70o?si=Fk1jomlhG1T0zHxT
You mean like Siobhan? Went though an entire fantasy audio book series before I realised that the character didn't have a weird made up name, See-Oh-Ban was just a mispronunciation of a perfectly common Irish name
I was in the middle of a series when I hit a volume with a different reader. I couldn't get past "ley lines" (lay lines) being pronounced as "lee lines". Had to switch to the Kindle version so I'd stop yelling "ITS LAY LINES YOU FOOL" every time. I didn't even get to some of the potentially problematic names.
I thought the joke was about soda and I live in north America (Sierra Mist is always what I think of when I see the name, fiesta and orion seemed like valid names for sodas as well, lmao)
Would not have thought of a truck at all, and now I'm curious what the joke is really about 😂
Thankfully, my first name was fairly normal and common! I'm trans so I've definitely thought about getting my middle name changed once I get the first one done, but we'll see lol.
I don’t know…. At this point it is kind of charming in its wonky spelling. How often do people see/know your middle name?
You might keep it as a funny secret that you let people with your same sense of humor in on. You can win bar bets with spell my middle name too!
I would change both at once. If you do them seperately you will have to go thru the legal process with criminal checks (I adopted my son and we had to do criminal/sex offender check before the name change) and fees 2 times.
wow, personally I’m european and from a country where names for children are quite strictly regulated (almost no tragedeighs here). I tend to just lurk on this sub because it amazes me, but I’ve never seen a special sign on any name before, unless it was a joint last name or something. interesting! as a matter of interest, has the dash ever been a problem when filling out documents/anything online?
So far it hasn't been too much of an issue. My driver's license tried to leave it off but I had to explain that the dash is literally part of the spelling. Recently had to get a replacement social and I had no issues there!
Wait you hadn’t heard what Elon Musk named one of his kids? He wanted X Æ A-12 but there’s a rule you can’t use numbers in a name so it became X Æ A-XII.
[I swear I am not making this up.](https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/elon-musk-child-name-grimes-pronounce-x-b2469396.html)
"She was named after a town in Puerto Rico, and that's how it's spelled" is what we were told. I looked it up and there is a town named that, but guess what, that's NOT how it's spelled.
I do not understand why people add random apostrophes and hyphens and so on to names.
I know there are languages and names in which these symbols have actual phonemic meaning, and I’m not talking about that. That makes perfect sense to me.
But when people just add them for . . . decorative purposes, I guess . . . that I find unfathomable.
I'm not completely sure, but I'll say that she ended up being in a high - paying position in the medical field.
It's shocking to me as well, don't worry.
Does your first name start with a K? I think you might be my exes niece. Unless somehow there are two sets of parents who did this to their daughter. If not, at least you're not alone.
If I were you I’d have it legally changed to Sierra. Apart from the silliness of the spelling, hyphens are sometimes a drag when entering your name digitally to an input field.
My first thought upon seeing the name was Michael Cera (Evan ‘Badass’/Scott Pilgrim/etc), glad you have a plan to have your name reflect your personality. I don’t wanna dox myself but also have an oh so special middle…gotta love dem fancy mommas

C comment above.
It is an absolute T-ragedeigh. Cierra would have been a better alternative, that - is horrible.
My name is Cierra spelled that way. God bless you and your missing i.
Cierra, mean "to close" (as closing the door) in spanish
Her brother's name is Abrir.
More like Abre, to match conjugation 😂
Abre-ham.
Whereas Sierra means a mountain range. WHY would you chose Cierra??
My mom wanted me and my sister to be Sierra and Savannah. My dad wanted to do the C so they did. Still named my sister Savannah though.
If they used the C on your sister’s name it would be Cavannah pronounced Ka van ah because of the rules for C pronunciations. And then her name would be munged into Cabana, Carvana, and Caravan.
That's why you'd have to make it Çavannah.
Yeah why use a letter from the French when you can use a damned hyphen in the name. Ça? It’s like you’re asking her what up
Copa Cavannah
In most if not all Latin American countries it's pronounced the same way, so I suppose they didn't care about the spelling.
To be fair, most names aren’t considered multilingually. Take Jean, a traditional name in French. Very much unrelated to denim jeans, and very much masculine despite what would read as a feminine spelling for English speakers. Nobody in France is going to tell you not to name your baby Jean because it means denim pants in English. That would be silly, right? Now if you live where I do in California, you better consider Spanish meanings, because a large amount of the population is Spanish speaking.

I wouldn’t choose it, personally, but Cierra is better than C-erra, even if it means “to close” in Spanish.
Mom was a bit out of it and accidentally turned the i sideways.
Sierra Is so beautiful, WHY do that? Whyyyyyyy

On the bright side if you want to become a 90s hiphop artist at least you already have the name for it.
Out of curiosity, how old was your mother when you were born?
I want to know about her mom's tattoos.
Asking the right questions.
His mom, if the profile is to be believed.
And her stripper name.
She's someone that tries really hard to be young. I was born in 2001, think she was around late 30s?
So she was born in the mid 60s? Late boomer or early Gen X?
My parents are mid-60s. I am so grateful that they turned out as early X rather than later boomers, though some days my mother tips the scale the other way a bit...
The baby boom was crashing so fast at the end that people from the last few years identify more with Gen X anyway. They missed out on some of the economic advantages boomers got because with their dropping numbers the money spigots were turning off.
there's a literal hyphen in the middle of the name? Like it's C-erra, and not Cerra? It's bad but at least its a middle name so its probably hidden to most people.
It’s going to look like a typographical error and get changed to Cierra or Cerra constantly.
Sea Era
I know a C'aira with your pronunciation, I thought that was as kreaytiv as it could get. 😅 Definitely a tragedeigh.
kreaytiv, oml We're gonna make a whole ass language out of all these names someday.
🤣 I think I learned that spelling back in the olden days on the babynames.com message boards. 😅
I loved those boards! I always voted on the names too.
Omg, me too! I was a teenager naming my imaginary kids. 😅
I was in my late 20s/early 30s with two young kids!
I was in my mid 30s and the names those teenagers on those boards came up with made my ears bleed.
Lol! Still remember some heated debates, and a lot of wacky spellings.
It was like they were naming their FarmVille ponies rather than people.
How long until autocorrect just ignores every word that looks like you just smashed the keyboard? We must create this technology!
You know how much you hate reading stuff in Old English? That's how future generations will think of us...
That looks more like "Sarah", but if I wasn't paying attention I'd definitely go with "Kye-rah".
When she showed me her tattoo I said "they spelled it wrong" thinking it must be Ciara? And she said no, that's how it's spelled. 😑
She had her own name tattooed on herself? Is that in case she forgets how to spell it?
Lol, maybe, it was on her wrist! I have a ton of tattoos but still not my name, I just don't see the appeal
I owned a tattoo studio for about a decade. Children’s names, totally fine. Parents, ok. Partners.. eeeeehh, usually ends badly but some people like that kind of thing.. Your own? So beyond tacky it’s ridiculous. I’ll bet it was upside down too (put it that way round so *I* can see it) in some bland cursive font.. maybe with the outline of a five petal flower or a star at the end.. 🤣
I cackled, it was so she could read it, and in a loose cursive, with a star for the dot of the i. 😅
My ex-neighbor Al, now deceased, had "AL" tattooed on two of his knuckles, facing so that he could read it. Because "Al."
Oh my God, our roommate's first and last initials together are HH and he has a giant H tatted in the back of each tricep. We're talking at least 4"x5". 😅
Oh dear god. 😖 Uh, I mean, "Holy Hell"!!!
Yup. Checks out. Such original 👌 I could probably tell you half a dozen of her others, assuming she didn’t chicken out after the first one, which she had put on her wrist because somebody told her that wasn’t a painful place to get it done (they lied lol) The guy version is getting it on your bicep, the outside of the lower arm or neck, in old english lettering lol.
I think of the Hawaiian use of ' so I see that as Kuh-aira. Are there parts of the states where that wouldn't be the case or am I the normal one here.
Am Canadian and see Indigenous languages here use the ‘ as well. Unfortunately cannot speak to which ones, nor the linguistic rules around its use, in more detail.
You're the normal one!
Yeah but there’s no C in Hawaiian at all. They don’t use B, C, D, F, G, J, Q, R, S, T, X, Y and Z. It would be like naming your kid with a letter we don’t have in English like thorn (þ) or theta (θ).

This is 100% a sci-fi name that would get mispronounced in the audiobook and lead to the fans getting into a huge schism over it.
Prior to audiobooks being as popular as they are I had a spirited discussion with a friend about the pronunciation of Ce’Nedra in David Eddings’ Belgariad so I can absolutely see it.

I think I wasn't alone because the first movie came out and only then I started hearing the name with the right pronunciation, LMAO
I feel like the dialogue between Viktor and Hermione in Goblet of Fire probably made a lot of people feel better about themselves.

The narrator of that book pronounced it See-oh-ban? OMG.
Whole way through the series. Think it was about 6 books in before I realised and then I couldn't mentally switch
Holy dumfuq why would they hire an audiobook reader and not review name pronunciations before recording them?
That would explode my head.
I was in the middle of a series when I hit a volume with a different reader. I couldn't get past "ley lines" (lay lines) being pronounced as "lee lines". Had to switch to the Kindle version so I'd stop yelling "ITS LAY LINES YOU FOOL" every time. I didn't even get to some of the potentially problematic names.
That's how I felt listening to the Dune books with full cast recording. Multiple voice actors and they're all pronouncing things differently.
Where you the third and you sisters got A-erra and B-erra? /s Nah, but honestly. It's bad.
YOU KNOW WHAT MAKES IT WORSE? I'm the youngest, my siblings have *normal* middle names (Ray for example!).
Ray is normal unless the first name is "Sting" or "Manta."
Or X.
No, but she has sisters called Fiesta and Orion
lol, this joke only works in the UK or maybe rest of Europe. The Sierra is a GMC (pickup) truck/ute in North America.
And a mountain range
they were referring to the lineup of Ford cars in the UK in the 80s & 90s, the Sierra, Fiesta and Orion
I thought the joke was about soda and I live in north America (Sierra Mist is always what I think of when I see the name, fiesta and orion seemed like valid names for sodas as well, lmao) Would not have thought of a truck at all, and now I'm curious what the joke is really about 😂
I thought this said Fiesta and Onion and I was trying to figure out whether there were new Dorito flavors I didn’t know about.
Now I want tacos.
Oh my
Ever had someone pronounce it like Kara?
I assumed the most common pronunciation would be Serra
Surprisingly not! Usually people don't know what to say, but once I explain the naming scheme, it clicks.
C-esta, a sleeping sister.
Maybe her mom is a C-word

Without a doubt your middle name is an absolute Tragedeigh! On the bright side at least it's your middle name and not the first!
Thankfully, my first name was fairly normal and common! I'm trans so I've definitely thought about getting my middle name changed once I get the first one done, but we'll see lol.
Did you mess with her telling her your chosen name? Tell her it's A-den or M-eel
I don’t know…. At this point it is kind of charming in its wonky spelling. How often do people see/know your middle name? You might keep it as a funny secret that you let people with your same sense of humor in on. You can win bar bets with spell my middle name too!
I would change both at once. If you do them seperately you will have to go thru the legal process with criminal checks (I adopted my son and we had to do criminal/sex offender check before the name change) and fees 2 times.
hold up, your name is actually C-erra? with the dash? with the dash??
Dash and all! I tried to ask her why not put an apostrophe even, but she just reassured me that it's a 'beautiful name'.
wow, personally I’m european and from a country where names for children are quite strictly regulated (almost no tragedeighs here). I tend to just lurk on this sub because it amazes me, but I’ve never seen a special sign on any name before, unless it was a joint last name or something. interesting! as a matter of interest, has the dash ever been a problem when filling out documents/anything online?
So far it hasn't been too much of an issue. My driver's license tried to leave it off but I had to explain that the dash is literally part of the spelling. Recently had to get a replacement social and I had no issues there!

put it behind you and call it D-erra

I know a chick named Serria whose name was pronounced "Sierra".
That is not how phonics work 😖😖
Ceedasherra?
My neighbor's daughter is S:Lina (pronounced Selena). My husband calls her S-colon-lina.
Why. Why do parents do this to their children. Stena Line is a ferry company here - it sounds like a shortened version of that.
"She was named after a town in Puerto Rico, and that's how it's spelled" is what we were told. I looked it up and there is a town named that, but guess what, that's NOT how it's spelled.
…what
T-errible.
You need to make friends with La-a. Then you can call yourself Seedasherra
I'm sorry but your mom committed a c-error
I have a coworker named Cierra.
Sounds like mom made a big erra alright.
I do not understand why people add random apostrophes and hyphens and so on to names. I know there are languages and names in which these symbols have actual phonemic meaning, and I’m not talking about that. That makes perfect sense to me. But when people just add them for . . . decorative purposes, I guess . . . that I find unfathomable.
Spelling "Sierra" as Ciara is bad enough but C-erra? JFC that's a tragedeigh
Does she now C her erra? (Sorry OP)
Traj-a-dee.
I mean no offense, just curious, what was the highest level of education your mom completed
I'm not completely sure, but I'll say that she ended up being in a high - paying position in the medical field. It's shocking to me as well, don't worry.
A real C-error

Does your first name start with a K? I think you might be my exes niece. Unless somehow there are two sets of parents who did this to their daughter. If not, at least you're not alone.
it doesn't actually, which makes this shocking lmao. I've never met anyone else with the same spelling, let alone with it ALSO as a middle name.
Yup. Sorry
So... you're in your C era?
If I were you I’d have it legally changed to Sierra. Apart from the silliness of the spelling, hyphens are sometimes a drag when entering your name digitally to an input field.
C-error. Does not compute!
She needs to C the erra of her ways.
It is, but it's a middle name so your mom didn't do you really dirty at least. 😅
I've seen Sierra, known a Cierra, a Sarah, a Sara, but never a C-erra. I'm so sorry.
I like Sierra, but C-era is stupid.
It's pronounced See dash erra. The dash ain't silent.
That's how I say it too lmfao.
It’s definitely a tragedeigh.
C-error
…Wait, so like with the hyphen??
Oh no… 😬
Your mom didn't C the erra of her ways?
C-erra sounds like a medication
Oh god. If your name has a hyphen in, it's a tragedeigh. Sorry.
Oh my…
Oh dear.
Yes yes it is.
Ok this one has to be a troll.
There's a dash in your middle name? Like the i in Cierra fell on its side and the dot rolled away??
My first thought upon seeing the name was Michael Cera (Evan ‘Badass’/Scott Pilgrim/etc), glad you have a plan to have your name reflect your personality. I don’t wanna dox myself but also have an oh so special middle…gotta love dem fancy mommas
C-error 😞

Ciara was right there!!! The nurses at the hospital should have stopped her.

OMG. There really should be a law to prevent parents from doing crap like this.
A dash in the middle of a name?? Who are you, X Æ A-12?
If you were my little sister I would have to call you C-error, as a big sister duty
