Names with strange spellings

[Dolcelatte]

I sent a birthday card to the friend of a daughter today then felt bad because I realised that I had addressed her as Sarah Jane instead of Sarah Jayne. I also know of an Allison and a Michele etc.

AIBU to wonder if you think this is an attempt at individuality or just a bit weird?

Zombieeeeeee

There ought to be a punishment for reviving zombie threads. Maybe being saddled with a name spelling you hate?

I know a Judge called Ysobel.

I agree. I get caught with them time and again.

Marc is the French spelling not made up.

I have spelt ds's name in a way that is strictly a foreign way but as well known as the English way. As the name was originally written in Hebrew I thought neither was the original!

Isn't Aimee the original spelling of Amy?

With an accent on the first e it's the feminine form of "loved" in French. (Though the French pronunciation is closer to emmay than Amy.)

I know an Esta. I'm fairly sure her parents weren't aware that there is a more common spelling. To me, an Esta is a form I have to fill in when I want to travel to the US.

Esta means "this one" in spanish

Yes I agree TheIncredible, but this was an Aimiee.
