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

[FelixFelix]

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

So what's the consensus on 'Graicae'?

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

My favourite ever interesting spelling is Abbeygale.

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....

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.

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

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

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

I think it must have been Taylor, yes.

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.

Daniyal is the Arabic spelling though?

I raise you Klayre...

I'll call your klayre ..... and raise you a Quklowii
Sigh

Klaake, anyone?

Chloe Effic?

Raichelle is always a lovely one

Is that Chloe Effic?
As for elQuin........ um Clark?

Yes - well done . Took us an age to figure it out at school.

But the 'qu' at the start is redundant.
It is arguable that Klowii does say Chloe (when you think about it there is no 'ch' sound in Chloe and if I saw loe on its own then I would read it as low) so it could be argued that Klowii says Chloe more that Chloe does.
But there is no need for the 'qu'.

I know of a little Jaxon

Yes, Clark/Clarke Pipbin

We could have a lot of fun here:

Ozka'a
Rewbin
Mathyu
Cevin

Eersiula
Fiibii
Hidey
Klahrah

Daniyal is the Arabic version of Daniel. Translated phonetically from the Arabic spelling.

Chloe isn't an English name though pipbin so English language rules don't apply to its pronunciation.

It's Greek I think.

A good point Maisie.

I won't believe the La-a until I see it on the official baby names register. I haven't yet!

The England and Wales one only shows when there are 3 or more so there might well be some, but only 2 a year.
However the Scottish one shows all names...........

Ds pronounces his name as "Maffoo". Maybe I should have spelt it that way......
