Just before you name your child, this might help,
I'm a midday supervisor at my little boys school -we are currently inundated with variations of certain names. It causes a lot of confusion (maybe parents should stick to old fashioned names and spellings!) -
Maya, Mia, Mya
Lola, Layla, Lia, Lyla
Eva, Evie, Edie, etc
Arrgghh can't cope! Lol!

The names you list are not 'certain variations', they are totally different names! E.g Lola and Layla

Not sure I see the issue here. Would you prefer to go back a generation with 10 Stephen/Steven's, 5 Sarah/Sara's and a handful of Hanna/Hannahs in the class? Not to mention the several Johns, Michaels, Matthews, Davids and Daniels you'd have to remember 🤔

That must be confusing!

In my child's class there is a Lyra, Lila, 2 Mila's (pronounced differently), Ava, Eva, Evie, Harry and Harriet and 2 Georges Shock
