i guess my last post stirred up a little controversy, as well as difference of opinion..which is expected and accepted. i made another list just because it seemed like a lot of people participated. some people thought the spellings i provided for some names were kind of outrageous. the only reason why i used those spellings as alternative spellings (example: eoin or owen), is because i've seen them used before on people i grew up with, currently know, etc. so if you're wondering why i used certain spellings again this time, it's only because i've seen the names spelled like that. shrug. people also pronounce names differently, obviously..since we all live in different places and were raised in different ways..but let's just assume the following names are pronounced the same way. i just want to know what spelling you prefer. hope this doesn't cause trouble. if you guys want me to quit with these posts, let me know. :) ♥

adrian or adrien
alexandra or alixandra
amelia or emelia

candace or candice
carissa or karissa
christi, christie, christy, kristi or kristy
devin or devon
dillon or dylan....dillon is more of a last name to me (i.e. matt dillon)
eliot or elliot
eric, erick or erik
erica, ericka or erika
gillian or jillian
gray or grey
hailey, haley or haylie
hanna or hannah... i like this one both ways, i guess i like "hanna" better

I guess in general i'm mmore about the traditional spellings that are just less complicated. generally speaking, the less letters the better.

i simply think that you pronounce some of those names with the different speilling differently. (I'm not sure if this is a correct English sentence though..)

For example:
Joanna and Johanna.
To me it's "joe-anna" and "joe-hanna" (you can hear the "h")
or
Candace and Candice.. to me it's just different.

[solyma.livejournal.com]

yeah... also with maura vs moira and mya vs maya... pronounced very differently.

[ifancylust.livejournal.com]

how would you pronounce moira/maura and mya/maya differently?
an old friend of mine was maya (pronounced MY-uh)..the same way that mya, the singer pronounces her name.
a girl i went to school with was named moira (MORE-uh), pronounced the same way maura tierney, the actress, pronounces her name.

[solyma.livejournal.com]

the moira's i've known have been pronounced moy-ruh vs maura's more-uh.
and i know a maya pronounced may-uh vs mya's my-uh.

BUT i do understand what you were saying in your post about just assuming they were pronounced the same way, which is what i did when i picked my spelling preferences. :)

Someone would actually name their kid Lenin?!
yea..there was a girl on livejournal who named her son lenin. =/ i like lennon, but spelling it lenin is just...bad.
i knew a girl named moira who pronoucned it MORE-uh, like maura. i've never met another moira though. it's definitely a lot rarer.

[ifancylust.livejournal.com]

hm. that's interesting. maura tierney (actress) pronounces it MORE-uh..and although that doesn't mean it's necessarily correct, that's always how i've pronounced it. i knew a girl who pronounced her name like CAR-uh, but she spelled it mara.
sure. :)

kelle, kelley, kelli, kellie or kelly: Keli When I was in middle school and we all changed the spelling of our names to "be cool," my best friend changed hers to "Keli" and so, by default, I always spell it like that now and eight years later, it looks wrong the right way. Go figure.

stefanie or stephanie: This is a bizarre answer, but it depends on where it's being used. It's my middle name, and my parents chose to spell it Stefanie, which I love as a middle name, but I think as a first name it looks better Stephanie. So I'd probably prefer Stephanie if it wasn't my middle name.
