700.0. "Is Klint a name ?" by KAHALA::PALUBINSKAS () Mon Jul 01 1991 14:30

    Is Klint a name ?  I like the name Clint but I wanted a name which
    began with K. Thanks Janet.

    I have seen the name Clint before, but never Klint.  On the other
    hand, why not. There already are: Katherine and Catherine 
    Christine and Kristine, Karen and Caren.  Clint and Klint follow
    the same pattern.

700.2OK if you like itWR2FOR::BELINSKY_MATue Jul 02 1991 21:5211
    I agree with .1  These days unusual spellings of names are popular with
    many people. If you are comfortable with it, then use it.  There is
    always the possibility that others will assume it is spelled with a "C"
    but that can happen with any name.
    
    If it would bother you to have to correct other's spelling, then
    perhaps a different name beginning with a "K" would make you more
    comfortable.

700.3Marc, not MarkNOVA::WASSERMANDeb Wasserman, DTN 264-1863Fri Dec 06 1991 13:125
    Personally, I prefer "conventional" spellings, although we named our son
    Marc, rather than Mark.  A purely arbitrary decision.  My husband
    wasn't completely thrilled with the name in the first place, so I let
    him pick the spelling.  Marc will probably spend his whole life
    correcting people.  Oh, well.

    Marc is the French spelling or equivalent of Mark, I think.
    So, it's not exactly a made-up spelling of the name and is
    an easily-recognizable and often-interchanged spelling, so I
    don't think he'll have too much trouble.

    I'm a Marc and haven't had much trouble at all.  I'm called Marc
    which is short for Marcel - my middle name.
