Tomas is Polish surely?

goldFAQinsenceandmyrrh · 10/12/2008 20:41

from your list - had a Zak in my class when I was about 7 (I'm much older than that now )

Abbey and Reece - ermm not sure of the problem there

Mollie, Ayden, Rebekha - all variations that I've seen in people older than me. Although tends to be Rebekah rather than the spelling you've put.

Abbey, Mollie and Reece are fairly common spellings though, not sure about the others!

last year we sent all the cards with the proper spellings as she had only just started reception so I took the names at face value. However, I now know how they are spelling their names and it is awful.

Charley is a boy btw
