I just don't get replacing vowels with a Y.

I mean it is stupid.

Anything you just added a ‘y’ to
Kaytlynn’s the top offender here, but so are variants like Addyson, Paysley, Eryn, Allyson, Jessamyn, and Jessyca.

“Y” is not a magic letter you can substitute for any vowel sound. Moreover, your kid is going to be saying “It’s Eryn with a ‘y’” for the rest of their life. Don’t you think that might be a tad bit more annoying than going as “Allison K” for a few years in elementary school?

Anything that starts with “X” because you like that letter and think it is cool
Sorry, friends who gave their children decent “X” names a few years back. Now they’re too trendy to live. Xenon, Xarina, Xavier, Xava — no. And worst of all, you cannot just substitute “X” for other letters and expect that to work. Xeraphina, Xexelia, and Xachary are not real names for real humans.
