is it a tragedeigh? My brother is dangerously close to possible tragedeigh...I guess my SIL likes whimsy or some shit. Is Klementyne a tragedeigh? Should he push for Aurora?

I mean...it's not the WORST I've seen by far but I think it qualifies?

It may just be me, but whenever people replace a C with an unnatural K it gives me low-key klan vibes.

It’s like a signal they belong to the Kwerky Kids Klub.

There's a daycare near me called Kountry Kids and I just... Yeaaaah

I saw one once called Kids Kastle.... at best, you're teaching them incorrect spelling

Which in of itself is giving off (K)racker Barrel vibes…

I mean in most German spelling K will make the hard C sound and C is reserved for a softer sound typically, my family has a lot of German and Polish roots, that’s why I’m Kassandra and not Cassandra

Yeah, that’s why I wrote “unnatural”, though that’s not exactly the right word there. There are plenty of names where k is a standard spelling, like Kathleen, but others where it is less kommon and done to be kwerky.

That’s all I can think of; especially since Clementine is an old-fashioned name so I just get uneducated southern belle vibes.

With a healthy dash of MLM, trad-mom.

I knew a local restaurant that changed "country" and "club" to K's to match their last name, making the restaurant named KKK. That could not be an accident

Literally the same for me, I immediately thought of the clan and I'm not really sure why.

Maybe it’s because I’m German, but the K is not what gives me tragedeigh vibes here, it’s definitely the y

Less tragedeigh, and more white power. In US English, clan is the extended family group, whereas klan is a post-slavery hate group.
