Spelling help please!
| Tue, 02-05-2008 - 12:30pm |
I am currently expecting my 3rd baby, a little girl. I have decided on her name already, it's a very traditional first name and a slightly unusual middle name. I just need some help on how to spell each of them!!! Any opinions would be great!!!
1st name
Katherine

Katherine Lorelei is gorgeous. I would spell it exactly that way.
Katherine and Kathryn are both accepted spellings, so it's really just a matter of taste. I much prefer Katherine because I think it looks more classic and less modern. But either way, it's lovely.
Lorelei however should definitely be spelled this way. That is the only accepted spelling, and anything else will look to many people like you heard the name and just sounded it out rather than looking up the correct spelling. Also, she'll have to spend her whole life correcting the spelling when people try to spell it the traditional way. Because she's already going to have to clarify the spelling of her first name (Catherine/Katherine/Kathryn), I would strive to avoid spelling issues with her middle name.

AJ, enjoying life with C.
I agree - Katherine Lorelei is gorgeous.
I personally love the spelling Kathryn the best.
Katherine or Kathryn is a toss-up
