Talk:Alexawndra

RFV discussion: December 2022–February 2023
I'm not sure what we count as attestation for given names, but is there evidence that this exists at all? 98.170.164.88 19:46, 17 December 2022 (UTC)

 * May 11, 2021 — Wait, is “Alexawndra” throwing shade at how they pronounce her name, or is it actually spelled that way?
 * My question too. DCDuring (talk) 01:33, 19 December 2022 (UTC)


 * It looks to me like a pronunciation spelling of someone emphasizing that their name doesn't sound like Alexander (-and- as in "and) but -awn- (as in "awning")- maybe trying to sound a bit more posh. Chuck Entz (talk) 02:11, 19 December 2022 (UTC)
 * But AFAICT it doesn't seem to be attested in durably archived sources even as a pronunciation spelling. 98.170.164.88 20:56, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Not only that but I'm unconvinced by the wide range of possible pronunciations given for this rather silly word. It seems to me that this is an attempt by Americans, who say (for the most part) o and aw as ah, to indicate that the name Alexandra is pronounced with an ɑ(ː), I very much doubt that anyone says the name Alexandra with an ɔ(ː) or that the illogical spelling with aw is meant to represent such a sound. Alexawndra is even more daft a word than Alexondra and nearly as daft as naur, in my book. A more logical pronunciation spelling would be Alexahndra, though I'm not suggesting that anyone should create it. --Overlordnat1 (talk) 01:54, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
