Bad spelling

I have nothing against this name spelled properly but I came across it on facebook spelled like this and I almost vomited:

Kaelah

I kept wanting to pronounce it Kaley or Keely. I was so confused for a while.

3-letter nicknames

OK, so I'm not pregnant, nor plan to be anytime soon, but, my boyfriend and I are thinking marriage, which inevitably leads me to ponder babies, and baby names.

We've already agreed that if we have a girl her name would be Isobel, nn Bel. My partner wants Elliott for a boy, but it occurred to me that our names and potential girl-baby name all go by 3-letter nicknames, so it would be cute if potential boy-baby name did too.

So, what are your favourite boy names that could have 3-letter nicknames? Max, Tim, Tom & Sam are all already out for various reasons.

A woman I went to school with had her first baby today. She called him:

Finnlae Arthur.

WDYT? I don't like the spelling too much but I presume she pronounces it as Finn-Lee, which I like.
