Have you ever considered changing your name, first or middle, to have a more traditional err correct spelling?
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.

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.

My name is a common name that is spelled differently. I'm Katilyn aka Kati. Normal spelling: KaITlyn and Katie.
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.

Mine isn't a unique spelling but there are several ways you could spell it so I typically have to spell it for people. I don't really consider it a huge deal.
