How do you feel about unique baby name spellings?

Question

Share your favorite or least favorite baby names !

Answer

What people need to realize is these kids have to put this name on a resume someday. Giving a child a crazy name can actually hurt them late in life. There have been studies that show employers will pass over crazy names and will prefer a name they can pronounce.

Answer

I see no issue with unique or uncommon names, however, when you start throwing in silent letters and replacing I with Y just to be cute, I'm personally not a fan. My nieces name is jordyn. I always hated the spelling. I think it should be Jordan. That's my preference tho.

Answer

I hate made up spellings and feel bad for kids that have to spend their whole lives having to explain "no it's not Michelle, it's Me'Shell" because their mothers wanted to be "different"

Answer

Answer

My boys names are Osiris and Zorion. If I had to do it all over again I would. I love their names and no they may not be able to get things with their names on them already made, I can still get custom things ordered. And I don't care what anyone thinks of what I named my kids. When you find the right name, you just know.

Answer

My daughters names are not something you hear everyday but are in baby name books and everyone that comes across my youngest whose name is a less common and got spelled differently usually gets pretty close to getting her name right but my daughters are dakota rain & anevay ilyce and for our next we like nahkai ivy, nayati eve, nailah jay, yaniah jae...all are native american because my kids are more than half Blackfoot Cherokee Choctaw & Sioux I get asked why sometimes but I get oh I love that a lot more :-)

Answer

I think there's a line. As other posters said, you have to think about them getting a job. Unique names have personality and are awesome, but too unique can cause bosses to pass over their resume and may make it difficult to get the career they want. 
My little sister's name is Razzberry, and while it's very cute and fits her well, I worry about what trouble she may have with it as an adult.
