I like the names, especially Ian, but I *really* despise this trend of sticking in 4 billion vowels in a name to try to make it look 'unique' or 'original'. It doesn't make it look any of those things, just makes the parents look dyslexic and gives the kid an added burden of having to instruct everyone the rest of their life on how to spell/say their name.
Whenever I see a "unique" or "creative" speeling I think of my poor nephew (my sister was 17 when she had him) and his name is Jestyn. Like JESS-tin. Don't you dare say Justin or she'll hurt you. And the poor kid has to crrect people the rest of his life. I think I tend to see more younger parents choosing these alternative spellings, maybe because they don't think about the kid's future difficulties...
