Spellings

[ouronlylight.livejournal.com]

On my list of favorite names, there are a number of names that are commonly spelled many different ways. I have favorite spellings for most of them, but then I thought, "What about other people?". And BOOM! Charity came up with another way to spam people with polls. ;)

Aidan (any other way is wrong IMO, I know this because I'm Irish :-) )

Caitlin (again, the proper Irish way.......but I've met many Katelyn's. This was our middle name pick for our 3rd born had he been a girl. We would have pronounced it Katelyn, even though we know the correct pronunciation when spelt Caitlin is Coy-che-lyn, it was just too harsh and most people now, even here in Ireland pronounce it as Kate Lynn (that got long winded))

Conor (Connor is a surname, and Connors was a surname of lots of rough boys where I grew up, hence the bad connotation for me)

Michaela (I don't mind most of the spellings aside from the ones that don't have i as the 2nd letter, like McKayla or Makala etc)

Sarah (as Sara is rhymes with Lara IMO)
