I don't really consider it a huge deal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/consider-changing-your-name#post-610874 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 10:28:42 +0000 MrsTiz 610874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My name is a common name that is spelled differently. I'm Katilyn aka Kati. Normal spelling: KaITlyn and Katie. </p> <p>I have wanted to change it so many times. Especially now that I have to spell out my last name, so I have to spell out my first and last name every day at least once..exact reason I will never EVER name my kid something common with a unique spelling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/consider-changing-your-name#post-610849 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 10:19:17 +0000 anbanan15 610849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have not personally but I know someone who has considered changing their son's name. She let her ex-husband mainly pick the name and now that they are divorced she hates it even more. The child is 5 or 6 and they always refer to him by an unrelated nickname. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/consider-changing-your-name#post-610828 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 10:13:28 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 610828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you ever considered changing your name, first or middle, to have a more traditional err correct spelling?</p> <p>My middle name is a female version of my dad's middle name. His is Allen, mine is Allena or as DH always teases Allen-A or Allen with an A. I have considered changing it to Alena, eventhough I have seen my version listed as alternative spellings on baby name sites. </p>
