What! we have to give up Shanikwa, chantelle, danikwa, imani, shanice, jamaica and china.
And Mohammed and Achmed and...
Don’t forget Apple & BlueIvy!
I feel sorry for the kids who have to go through life with some of the ridiculous names...difficult to pronounce, difficult to spell. JMO.
We had a local basketball team where every girl on the starting lineup was named “Katelyn” and all were spelled differently.
I propose we take all names, put them into a computer that separates them by sound, and whatever the most popular spelling of that name is, everyone with that name gets the same spelling. So if I ask someone what their name is and they say “Haley”, I don’t then have to ask “how do YOU spell that?” So Allison, Alison, Allisyn, Alisyn, Alysin, Allysin, and Allysyn all get one spelling. I don’t care which one wins, but we as a people need to agree that all we are doing is screwing up our childrens’ future by giving them a stupid way to spell their names.
