'I've changed spelling of classic baby name – some say it's unfair on my child'

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Choosing a baby name is more than just picking out a moniker you fancy. With an abundance of names available, parents can select from classic options or opt for something more distinctive to make their child stand out.

However, the process isn't as straightforward as simply selecting a name that sounds appealing; considerations include how the name pairs with your surname, what the initials will spell out, and even which spelling variation to choose.

One expectant mother has shared her intention to give her daughter a traditional name but with a unique twist in the spelling.

Yet, she's facing backlash, as some people have warned her that this could mean "condemning" her child to constantly correct people's spelling of her name for the rest of her life.The mum took to Reddit to express her and her husband's fondness for "funky" spellings of common names, citing examples like "Saylor" instead of Sailor and preferring "Kiely" over the usual Kylie.
