Ehllsyie as an alternative spelling of Elsie.. Thoughts?

[saltedpopcorn2]

DP suggested it but I think it's awful! Look dreadful lol and would condemn our poor DD to a lifetime of having to say "it's same as Elsie but spelt.... ". Argh!

My name is an ordinary name spelt slighly differently, it's a total PITA. I can remember as a very small child correcting people and that spelling is appalling, so not even easy to correct for a little kid.

I write fantasy fiction and I wouldn't even use that. Too many pointless letters.

Child abuse. FGS please don’t inflict this on your poor child.

Your DP is bonkers. It is literally theworst suggestion I have ever seen on a baby name thread.

Might just as well have Elsie spelled as lqhdac7(*^%, or with the squiggle that Prince used for a name.

Silly

Mind you, I've just learned that Musk is now spelling Twitter as X.

To be fair, I think the OP writes fantasy fiction too, of the nominative type.

Just no, unless you want to set your DD up for a life time of bullying and having to spell it out EVERY time someone asks her name 😢

😱

Don't be silly

Aye but it's pronounced Elonz

Surely you can add a few more letters to that, maybe a silent p at the start?

More likely dropped something on his head…!

Please no!!

FFS!
As a registrar if you came register with me, I would be saying "what? And how are you pronouncing it? And why are you spelling it that way?"
I mean, I can't refuse to do it, but seriously....why would you?!

I have a less common spelling of a fairly common name (nowadays, wasn't popular 40 years ago!) and it's annoying having to spell it.

Bloody ridiculous!

Not one of your DH's best suggestions.

Exactly.

If OP's husband wants a silly spelling , at least make it work

''Lc''

{El Cee}

Dp has a cousin called Alivia. I try not to judge. I fail.

😦

What.The. Actual....

It's naming a kid, not countdown.

Also, part of it looks a bit like your DH had just decided to shove in random letters in a flawed bid to make the name look complex in the way that some English people experience certain Irish names as complex.
Therefore, possibly quite offensive

LC?

Rediculous. Is he dyslexic?
