MrsS - I had no idea you have THREE girls! For some reason, I was thinking just two. You must be a busy lady! I never had a sister -- it must be so sweet for your 3 girls to have each other to grow up with! And I love their names -- you have great taste! I love the classic ones, too.
Really? I'd never even thought about this spelling until I met someone with it recently... and she said she preferred having the "s"... just because it gave her very traditional name a bit of a twist.Date: 3/14/2007 10:14:27 AM

My first name is Elisabeth with the 's' instead of the 'z.' It definitely has been a pain because nobody thinks to spell it this way. I've even had to have my driver's license redone because it got typed in wrong.
I think a lot of parents work really hard to give their child a unique name whether it being in spelling or pronunciation and it seems to me to turn out to be more of a burden for the child...constantly having to correct people.
yeah... even though Acacia is an ancient name and very rarely used, the more common spelling is Akaysha which just bugs me to no end... it isn''t like Acacia is so common you need to mix it up a bit... and yet it is this very old name that no one ever uses... and to me it is so beautiful. I love it spelled in caps LOL ACACIADate: 3/15/2007 4:24:02 PM

I do hate when people try and get creative with names that are already very trendy... making Madison into ''Maddysine''... that sort of thing.![]()
I think I would have done that.Date: 3/15/2007 9:16:48 PM

A lot of people cant pronounce or spell my daughters name right. I always have people pronouncing her name Yeh-vette. As for spelling we used the French version (French Descent). My dad even spelled her name Evette in her birthday card. I wanted to name her Eva after my grandmother but my husband liked Yvette better & now that I think about it had we named her Eva people would probably pronounce it Ava anyway. Eva is Eva & Ava is Ava.![]()

DF- I always think your posts are spot on, but your are now my fav as those names (Ben, Reed & Elise) are my kids'' names.![]()
The SSA website also lists the number of babies given each particular name, which is kind of interesting too... that lets you figure out how popular a name REALLY is by adding up all its different spellings/forms. Like for 2005, Sophia is #11 (12,45Date: 3/16/2007 2:09:11 AM

If you go on the Social Security & search for baby names, you can look up the top names in your state. I find it pretty interesting. Why am I still up? I need to get in bed

I am sure I will think of more! It is tough when you have an association with someone and that name becomes a bit tainted to you...

well believe it or not I thought Lily would be a breeze for people. But, almost everyone spells it Lilly. even my mother-in-law sent cards and presents with that spelling until recently.
