Comments and insights on the name Blythe: | Edit

My name is Blythe! I am 17 and I have just recently come to appreciate the uniqueness and originality of my name. Though it sometimes tests my patience when my name is mispronounced, I have truly learned to embrace my name and thank my parents for blessing me with something I can really call my own. :)

Personal experiences with the name Blythe: | Edit

My name is Blythe and it always annoys me when people pronounce it wrong. I have been called the wrong name so many times, and some people just never get how to say my name no matter how many times I correct them. I have teachers at school who pronounce my name wrong. I wish my parents would have given me a name that was easier to pronounce and spell. And also a little more common. Some of my friends call me 'B' because it's easier to say, and i like it way better than my actual name. My advice is that even though it may be a pretty name, don't name your child Blythe.
