Stop misspelling names...

to make them look unique. Misspelling a name just makes the parents look like they can't spell. Not to mention that others will always misspell the child's name. GRRR!!!

I agree, taking a common name and changing the spelling does not make in unique. Just makes people mispell it.

I have mild dyslexia and sometimes it is just hard to try to guess what people is trying to right.

I'm not sure if i agree. my middle name is Audry. that's how it apears on my birth certificate and i was named after a family friend who also spelled her name that way. I know the traditional spelling is Audrey but i like my name the way it is. if you think my name looks strange then boo hoo to you. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. if i like a slightly different spelling for my child's name to honor a friend or a family member than i'm going to use it. and anyone who has to read it can just deal.

Just my 2 cents.

Well, my name is spelled Kelli (with an I, not a Y), and I've always liked that, but I'm pretty sure that's not what the original post was referring to. After all, there are often various acceptable and recognized spellings of a name (such as Kelly, Kellie or Kelli, in my case). I mean, there's "unique" or "different," and then there's completely made-up and incorrect. For example, Jezzukah for Jessica, Abbeyegayle for Abigail, Maddissyn for Madison, etc. (these are off the top of my head, but I have seen ones at least as bad as these). Oh, and as long as we're on the topic ... Neveah for Nevaeh (which is too trendy and made-up in my opinion anyway, but it really drives me nuts that it's supposed to be "heaven spelled backwards" but tons of people using it would actually be inverting haeven. Argh!). ;)
Anyway, I think those are the types of incorrect spellings the post was referring to. And, if so, I'd have to agree! :)
