I think I've found the ultimate 'dodgy spelling of normal baby name to try and make it unique'

Grace is quite a nice name. So is Gracie as a nn.

So what's the consensus on 'Graicae'? Hmm

Daniyal is the Arabic spelling though?

The urban myth L-ia always gets dragged out on these snotty threads.

I've taught in a school with one, but it is never believed.

I think it must have been Taylor, yes.

I'm not sure it will work, people will actually find it easier to use her real name or give her a different nn

Airwrecka. WFAF. Is that. !!!!!!!

blueandgreendots · 05/10/2015 22:27

I looked round a nursery recently and saw one of the clothes pegs labeled Daniyal. Not as good as Airwrecka though

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 05/10/2015 22:26

I'll take a guess at Taylor, Molly. Am I right. If so. How bloody stupid. If I wanted a unique spelling for Taylor. I spell it. Taela. Taila Tayla.

La-a was on the class register at a school I worked in for a few weeks. Unfortunately not an urban myth. Maybe it started that way....

thegiddylimit · 05/10/2015 22:21

My favourite ever interesting spelling is Abbeygale.

I saw Tae-Leur in a magazine once. Took me ages to work it out.

Daim surely not?!

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 05/10/2015 22:14

What!!!. It doesn't even spell Gracie. Its more like Gray-Say. I've nothing against unique spellings. I actually quite like some of them. Lili for Lily.
Elliegh for Ellie, at least you can still tell what names they are. There's nothing wrong with difference. Being unique is one thing being daft is another.
There are some names you can't change the spelling of, and Gracie is certainly one of them.. Almost as bad as J-Cub.

I recently came across La-a pronounced La dash a.

Not the way she spells it. Did you look at the link?

BondGate · 05/10/2015 22:10

Oh, right. Ignore my last post Blush

Ricardian · 05/10/2015 22:10

Graicae

Shouldn't that be Graicæ?

BondGate · 05/10/2015 22:10

Isn't Erica an established 'normal' baby name?

ouryve · 05/10/2015 22:10

Airwrecka sounds like a NN for someone with particularly potent farts.

LineyReborn · 05/10/2015 22:09

Fuck me.

Airwrecka.
