Evolution of names.... misspellings that might work...

[Cimcardishan]

So have seen several threads, troll and genuine, about misspelled names.

Please inform me onomasts about names that have evolved?

For instance is Margo a name in its own right or an alternative spelling of Margot?

Also which one is the correct spelling of Isabel, or are all the variants valid?

I know a baby Irenie whose mother wanted to honour her mother but didn't want her child to be called Irene. Would Irenie be frowned upon on mumsnet?

Am quite curious about this.

Disclaimer my children are already named so this thread is just for my own curiosity and I don't mean to wind anyone up so this is not about names like Eliviah for Olivia, etc...

A bit off the original topic, but it does stick in my craw as a Scot when someone suggests a perfectly acceptable and traditional Scottish name for it to be rubbished as "American, Surnamey and Chavvy". Maybe we need a baby name subtopic of scotsnet?
