haha! I found this: Top 10 Hints for Naming Your Baby. maybe it's just me, but I think most of this advice is awful. I got a laugh out of it, though...

I really think it's funny when people say that a unique spelling will distinguish your child. If you say the name in the same way, how is it unique? Geoff is still Jeff, Allysynn is still Allison, Lorynn is still Lauren - your kid will end up being Erynn B. if it's pronounced the same way.

But I still think that rule #1 for naming your kid should be -- you like it!

actually, it's the other way -- Jeffrey is the americanized form of Geoffrey, the original form. and both are the same as Godfrey, which is english for the german Gottfried (my grampa's name). so it's actually jeff that's the, well, not "unique" spelling, but the later one.

Right -- that's cool, but the point is that they're all pronounced the same way... prob. should have picked a better example, like Karri/Keri/Carrie or something.
