92.0. "DIFFERENT SPELLINGS..." by 9327::GALLANT () Fri Apr 03 1987 14:57

    ALTHOUGH I DON'T HAVE ANY CHILDREN MYSELF (I'M ONLY 19 AND I'M A
    LONG WAY FROM MARRIAGE)...I'VE ALWAYS LIKED THESE NAMES.  NINETY
    PERCENT OF MY FRIENDS SAY THAT THEY WOULD DREAD BEING ONE OF MY
    KIDS BECAUSE THEY WOULD HATE TO HAVE TO GO THROUGH LIFE WITH NAMES
    (AND SPELLINGS) LIKE THESE...
    
    BOYS                              GIRLS
    
    Jevin                             Devan
    Nikolus (same as Nicholas)        Whytnee
    Vance                             Jacintha (the "h" is silent)
    Zachary                           Kalena (kuh lee nuh)
    Jacinto (juh sin toe)
    
    
    ...AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO LIKES THESE DIFFERENT SPELLINGS?!  MAYBE
    IT'S BECAUSE I'M ONE WHO'S USED TO IT.  OPINIONS ARE APPRECIATED!!

92.1HERE'S A COUPLE MOREBUSY::LDRAKEThu Sep 17 1987 16:3112
    I'M ALSO ONE FOR DIFFERENT SPELLINGS AND DIFFERENT NAMES.  I'M ALSO
    A LONG WAY FROM MARRIAGE AND CHILDREN BUT HAVE PICKED OUT A FEW
    NAMES THAT I MIGHT AT SOME TIME IN MY LIFE LIKE TO NAME MY CHILDREN.
    HERE THEY GO:
    
    SHAYNAH LYNDAH (USUALLY SHANA LINDA) (BOTH MEAN BEAUTIFUL - SHANA
    IS HEBREW AND LINDA IS SPANISH)
    MINDEE LEIGH (USUALLY MINDY LEE)
    
    I NEVER REALLY THOUGHT ABOUT BOY'S NAMES BUT I'M SURE THEY WOULD
    BE DIFFERENT.
    
92.2ALIKE BUT DIFFERENTCURIUM::ROONEYWed Sep 23 1987 16:4914
    
    
    Actually, this isn't spelled differently...but is a trick on the
    ears!
    
    A friend of my sister just had a little girl.  The wife wanted to
    name her EMMA, but the husband wanted EMILY....  The compromised
    and came up with   EMMA LEE !!!
    
    Alike, but different!

92.3pronounced KAY-leeEDUHCI::WARRENWed Nov 18 1987 19:2711
    My daughter's name is Caileigh. She's going to love learning to
    spell it.  I've heard of other people with her name, but spelled
    Caley or Kaley or Kaylee or...
    
    Most recently, there was a letter in Parade magazine about Clark
    Gable's son and it mentioned that he had a baby daughter named
    Kayley.  We found that interesting, but then we noticed that his
    wife (Kayley's mom)'s name was Tracy.
    
    -Tracy (Caileigh's mom)
 
92.4exSALEM::BUTLERTue Apr 16 1991 14:559
    My name is spelled differently and I get alot of compliments on it.
    I have only met one person with my exact spelling and she was from 
    Ireland.  I have really no idea how my parents picked the name or 
    what nationality it could be....
    
    -Sherrin (Cher-In)
    
    ps a girl that I worked closely with in APO was named Shereen (it was 
       an Indian (India-Indian)
92.5GAILEYOBSESS::PHELANFri May 17 1991 17:2513
    RE: 3
    
    I've always love the named Caileigh!  Caleigh is another spelling too, 
    that I've considered. 
    
    My Mom's maiden name is Gailey (pronounced Gai ley or Gail ey)
    and I might (someday) use that as a middle name for a girl or 
    possibly change it alittle and use Cailey.  
    
    i.e.  Samantha Gailey or Samantha Cailey

92.6I LOVE 'EM, TOO!!19119::JANDROWFri Sep 13 1991 12:0110
    I, too, love names with different spellings.  I am only 20, but I have
    had a list of names for my kids since I was about 12.  I have found
    it's rather hard to give boy names different spellings, but here's my
    list:
    	Jaquelyn Ashlea               	Shawn ?
    	Shannyn Malya                   Ryan Deryk
    	Lyane Ranei (AKA Leane Renee)   Marc Andrew
    I used to have 10 names altogether, but that isn't exactly realistic!!

92.7"MYKEL"JUPITR::LCLARKMon Feb 08 1993 14:3814
                                  
    My son is now 3 months old.                                
    His father named him "Mykel"
    (pronounced Michael).  Has anyone seen it spelled like this?
                    
       
                                  
    His full name is Mykel Anthony Clark-Nelson.   

    I realize he will have to go through life spelling his name, as I
    already do.  But it's fun.
