What's out there?

Okay, so I've always put a twist on the spelling of names, or pick a kind of out-there type of name. What do you think of these names. Also, what are some names you've heard of with odd spelling, or it's just an out-there sort of name? (girl or boy names)


Aurora Blyss


Anabelle Rai


Lyssa Ryan


Roselynn Grace


Ryleigh Alyss

Hmm.... not really sure why you would purposely try to find an odd spelling. To me, that is purposely setting yoru child up for a life of correcting people!


Aurora Blyss- Love this- stunning!


Anabelle Rai- Annabel is nice, don't like Anabelle. Rai... RYE? RAY? Don't know what this is...


Lyssa Ryan- Awful. Ryan is a boy's name, and Lyssa is just bad. Alyssa Rhiannon is nice. Lyssa is too nicknamey, doesn't age well.


Roselynn Grace- Grace is way overdone as a mn. Rose names are usually nice, but this looks kind of smushed together


Ryleigh Alyss- Sorry, again... awful. Riley on a girl is dated and overdone, Ryleigh just looks bad to me. When you say "Alyse" do you mean Elise or Alice? Both are lovely.


Since you are posting on a msg board asking opinions, I am going to be honest with you and give you mine- Trying to purposely find a name with a weird spelling is just a bad idea. Now, using an original name is great, but why PURPOSELY misspell your child's name? A lot of people will look at her name, and assume she (or you, who named her) is uneducated and doesn't know how to spell. You can be original without butchering the spelling.
