It causes a lot of headaches when you get creative with spellings. If you wanna be creative, pick a creative name & spell it however you want since most people won't know how to spell it to begin with.

I've complained before about my daughter's very traditional spelling of her name and later finding out there are 18,000 ways to spell it because people have to be creative.

Oddly spelled names are one of my biggest pet peeves. Why make your child spell their name for people for their whole life?! Also... Spelling the kid's name in a weird way does not make it any more unique! lovehoneybee on "Do you prefer traditional or creative spellings of common names?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-prefer-traditional-or-creative-spellings-of-common-names#post-466580 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 14:10:31 +0000 lovehoneybee 466580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Definitely traditional.

I'm not a fan of substituting y's and i's for the traditional vowel. polkadots on "Do you prefer traditional or creative spellings of common names?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-prefer-traditional-or-creative-spellings-of-common-names#post-466574 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 14:07:14 +0000 polkadots 466574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Just depends on the name. My name is more masculine, but switching the I for a Y gives it a feminine touch.
