Ugh.

My friend's cousin just found out that she's having another girl (they have two already) and they plan on naming her Emily. I asked what the other girls' names were and she told me "Ashley and Kailey." I think they're too cutesy for my tastes, but I like Emily and Ashley is okay.

Then I found out how they are spelled:

Ashleigh
Kayeligh
Emmileigh

UGH.

Ashleigh is acceptable, I think, but the others...no.

[aaww-my-bees.livejournal.com]

I like Ashleigh spelled this way only, but I don't like the other ones.

[kilobites.livejournal.com]

I am fairly okay with Ashleigh but Kayleigh and Emmileigh... No.

[yummymummy88.livejournal.com]

What a complicated way to spell Emily.

[selador.livejournal.com]

I only like kayleigh spelled that way.

[trishy-h.livejournal.com]

I suppose you could accept Kayleigh and Ashleigh separately but both PLUS Emmileigh??? No.

[laminy.livejournal.com]

Emmileigh is so horribly ugly. It is awful.

....ew. Ew ew ew. Although, even if they were spelled properly, it's all a bit too rhyme-y/match-y to me.

And on a completely different note, RAHM!!!! I love that man.

[lind-saay.livejournal.com]

ME TOO. Hahaha. He has practically turned me straight.

Blech :( Emmileigh looks awful!!

[ivegotbaggage.livejournal.com]

My name is Ashleigh.

[lind-saay.livejournal.com]

Hopefully your sisters aren't named Emmileigh and Kayeleigh.

[ivegotbaggage.livejournal.com]

My brother is named Adam? :-P

Actually I'm okay with Kayleigh spelled that way (although Kayeligh is a little over the top), I actually think thats a proper way of spelling it. But the rest...guh.

[stormqueen280.livejournal.com]

The first two are nice enough, though I wouldn't use them together - way too matchy for me. Emmileigh is awful. Just awful.

My daughters name is Kaleigh, but I wanted to spell it plain old Kaylee, my husband liked it the other way (Kaleigh) but at least it wasn't Kayleigh and yeah, we have no other kids named Rayleigh, Ashleigh or Emaleigh lol

I prefer Ashleigh over Ashley. Both of my cousins spell their name Ashleigh, and I actually never met a girl who spelled her name Ashley until I was in college.

Ashleigh is ok, but Kayeligh and Emmileigh... ew

[lava-sharks.livejournal.com]

Snark snark snark.

[freezemyazaleas.livejournal.com]

I like Ashleigh but the others are awful. Kaley is so much nicer than Kayleigh. And the Emily/Emma Lee/Emmileigh trend needs to die.

[tiphanism.livejournal.com]

Too matchy for my tastes - especially with the gimmicky matchy spelling.

[littlehounddog.livejournal.com]

I absolutely hate that!
