I met 2 ladies this week who have some different names for their kids and i thought i'd share them...

The first lady I met has a daughter named Krystian (Christian) and she chose the alternate spelling to make it "look" more feminine. She's also pregnant and even if it's a GIRL, she wants to name the baby Michael-and use MIKE as a nickname. She had no reason except that she likes the name and this will be her last baby and if its a girl, she will use the name anyway! Do you all think Michael should be used as a girl name? I dont. But it's not my choice! hehe

The second lady i met has a daughter named Kjersta. It's pronounced Kiersta but with the 'j' is the original scandinavian spelling. I asked the lady if she (or her husband) was scandinavian, she said "No, we just like the "different" spelling." I just feel sorry for that girl...having to spell her name to everyone all the time. Bleh. Her younger sister got semi-lucky, and was named Alyssa. I guess they both could've gotten alot worse names though huh?

There is the Biblical Michal, which is feminine, and I went to school with one of those. She always went by Michal, though, and I only got to know her in high school, so the teasing factor was way down by then. I would never nickname a girl Mike, I have to be honest.
