Creative and unique spelling of baby names continues to be the most popular trend in 2006. Parents found 86 ways to spell the top 10 boys' names, and 163 ways to spell the top 10 girls' names.
Unique twists on traditional spelling variations include: the letter "y" used in place of almost any other vowel; silent letters such as "h"; the use of apostrophes; inter-word capital letters; changing vowels (from "ee" to "eigh") and consonants ("k" instead of "c", "f" instead of "ph"). Creative spelling of this year's top boys name reveals Aiden spelled with an "e", Aiyden, and Aedyn. In previous years it was Aidan with an "a".
