Kyngston

Substituting a y for an i is becoming an increasingly common way to make a name "unique". Kyngston, a variation of the place-name Kingston which means "king's town," is one such y-ification that has become increasingly popular over the past decade. But when turning a word or a place into a first name, the classiest route is always to stick with the original spelling.

Pronounced KING-stun.
