Are they trendy? Cute? Confusing?
If you want to add more please do!
Edit:Oh and for the record my two girls now are Kiara (rhymes with tiara) and Leah. The one I'm expecting will be Myla. Pretty simple I think but even those have been butchered at doctors and stuff.
Yup. :) I just don't want my children to have to deal with people spelling their names wrong or pronouncing them wrong their entire lives. How annoying would that be?
Quoting RiNKeasMom:Just out of curiosity....which way are you considering "right" the common English spelling? =)
Quoting JamieLyn822:
My personal opinion - I hate that. It just confuses people and the child will have to deal with it their entire lives. Just spell it the right way. :)
Quoting KatieGirls2:
If they have a point I think they are ok... Like mixing two names after two grandmothers, a French vs English spelling etc... But I think things like Ayvah are just confusing and sometimes weird looking.... That being said spelled my dd's name Kierstin instead of Kirsten. I did that though because I hate when people mispronounce it curse-ten. Hoping it would help having the kier- like pier.....

Quoting Allie_kat1:
I feel sorry for the kid. Obviously the parents are short sighted and didnt think about how this was going to cause issues with people spelling/pronouncing the name as the child grows.
My cousin is a Candis. I think it's better then the traditional spelling Candace. To me that's wrong.
Did it become difficult for people to prounce it "ally" and kept calling me "Ali" as in Muhammad Ali! Hence the personal decision to switch my name to Allison and go by Allie. I can't stand spelling changes and my names isn't even close to being a change as some!!!!
My first son is Arik (like Eric) and this baby will be Isaak =)
Not that bad actually...hahaha.
The names I posted are my girls real names. Hubby is Irish immigrant, and wanted traditional Irish spellings. Maybe that's why it never bothered me...I knew they were right somewhere =)
