Interesting spellings.

[TwigsRidesAgain]

I saw this one today. Lileigh.

Not saying it's good or bad. Never seen it before that's all.

I had to look, look and look again before figuring out the op spelling was an alternative to Lily.
Dylon reminds me of Dyson
I don't understand the desperate need to spell differently, if it is pronounced the same it doesn't make it any less popular, or change what the name actually is

La-ia, pronounced Ladashia.

I mean, WTF?

Hi Marmite. Dylon looks like Die-lon to me, as in Die-son (Dyson) not Dylan. Some names just looks daft spelled different.

Dylon looks like it should rhyme with nylon.

I dislike Siouxie. I mean, it's not as if you write Siouxan, is it!?

Isn't Dylon the name of a fabric dye?
Jaxon. Surely eveyone will think Jackson first?
Where did names like Kayleigh & Jayden / Kaiden come from? Somebody must have started it...
In my eyes the name is Claire, not Clare. That name always reminds me of The Breakfast Club.
Molly / Polly names ending in i or ie - just no.

The band Marillon had a top 10 single called Kayleigh in 1985. That name was almost unheard of before them.

I know a kid called Molliy. Seriously.

I'm struggling not to read Molliy as Moi-ly... it just looks so wrong to have the i and y next to each other like that!

Dear God, some of these are atrocious.

I know someone who just named her daughter Jorja.

I know a Leigha (Leah) I didn't really like the name to start with but it's grown on me.

Vyvian brings the Young Ones to mind with that spelling.

This is a thread for our old primary school! There was a:

Destyny
Justice (not misspelt just odd
Sofy
Ellee
Iggi
Mantas

Claire is not a weird spelling. As someone else said, it's the French form. Clare is the Germanic form. Clair(e) is the French word for light.

Recently seen a Nataleigh. No no no!! Just looks wrong to me.

Cathryn instead of Katharine.

I've recently seen:
Melony
Kamron
Jak

NO!!

Different, but I know a grown up called Isla - pronounced 'Iz-ler'

What a thing to have to explain your whole life!!

The La-a thing is an urban myth.

There is a character in a John Irving book called Melony, Icedfinger.

Surely Siouxsie is an allusion to Siouxsie and the Banshees?

Siouxsie Sioux's real name was Susan, so it was a nickname taken from that.

I went to school with a Reinebeau. Every time we got new teachers it was "Yes my name's rainbow, no you don't spell it like that". Poor thing...

There was also a Kayleieh, a Feebee, and a Jemagh [puzzled]

Cathryn is ok.

And I've always liked the spelling Alys even though it's been totally replaced with Alice.

I know someone with a dd called Porchia.

She pronounces it Por-sha, but I deliberately pronounce it Porch-ee-ah because that is what it says, imo. And I can't stand her mum and enjoy pissing her off

sanity which is a reference to the Sioux native american group, which has very little to do with susan in itself. So silly.
