Annoying name spelling

So a friend had a baby girl today. Baileigh. I'm not a fan of the uneek spelling. What do y'all think??

And I'm posting and running b/c I just noticed it's about my bed time!?

Re: Annoying name spelling

  • I'm not a fan of that spelling... Or that name.

    I know too many dogs named Bailey. And they're all buttheads.

    My overly happy baby girl!

  • I agree, I either think of a dog or of Scott Wolfe's character from Party of 5!?

  • We have a dog named Bailey. Luckily she's not a butthead lol

    Yeah, until you posted this, I couldn't even figure out WHAT the name was! The best I could come up with was something that rhymed with Miley. 

      Now it makes sense.  And yes, that's an annoying spelling.

    This completely validates my thoughts!! Thanks :)

  • That poor kid, right up there with the person I know that named their kid something like Aarryen (Erin).

    This exactly.  Or a couple of my cousins since it is there last name.

    Some unique spellings I don't mind like Ryleigh, Jaycen, Krystyna.  But your friends' choice is a bad spelling choice.  I had to read it a couple times to figure out what it was.

  • Yeah, I don't like the name or the spelling.
  • It makes me a little sad for the kids. If they want name license plates for their bikes or pencils with their name on or anything pre printed with names either they can't have it or they own it with their name spelled incorrectly. My sister named her kids Madisyn and McKinzye, they always want personalized stuff as most little girls do but they can never find their names because of the funky spelling.

    We were both on board for Isabella to be spelled correctly. At lamaze class someone else was also using that name and made a point of bragging that they were going to spell it with 'Z" instead of "S" and only one "L" to be original. Her middle name is Faithe, so I added an e to the end, it just seemed more name like that way, but imho first names should not be used to demonstrate you unique spelling.

    No kidding! I feel for these kids! There was NEVER anything with Summer on it! Unless my mom ordered it from a catalog :), which she did sometimes.

    Sorry Shelley, you're on your own with Jaycen. Not.a.fan.

    LOL. I just realized this is funny coming from the woman who named her kid Campbell (a traditionally last name). We've already not found his name on these cute sippy cups at BRU. Oh the perils! I'll order him lots of monogrammed stuff.

  • Terrible spelling, and I agree with Mar that I know a lot of dogs named Bailey. It drives me nuts when people try to get so creative with names. People are y happy. If you want unique pick a unique name, don't take a normal name and make it weird. Now your kid just spells his/her name weird!

  • We went with a traditional name for Xander. Granted we are calling him Xander and I only met one other person who called her Alexander that. But if Xander wants to be called Alex by his friends when he is older he has that choice. I always had a hard time finding my name on things growing up. My sister is Jackie so she had everything. Granted she now spells it Jaci.

    I like the name, but not the spelling.

  • Oh, also, a friend of a friend just had their baby boy two day ago and his name is Kaicen Avery. First, I don't like the name, and second, I thought this entire time that it was a girl based upon the name.

  • Yeah, I'm NOT a fan of that first name. I guess it's like Jason? I do like Avery and know it's often a boy's name but I always associate it with girls.

  • I'm in complete agreement with the awfulness that is Uneeque spellings.  I saw someone I knew from an old job.  She named one of her kids Stevyn.  Whaaa??? What is up with all these "Y"'s being put into replace all the other vowels.  I am not a fan whatsoever.

    Okay, W.T.F!? What is wrong with people?! That's really unnecessary!

    Yup, sound similar to Jason. I do LOVE Avery for a girls name, too.
