I found that people who commented didn't read ANYBODY else's comments. (this is not everyone who commented) because there was a lot of repeats that were unnessary. Esspecially on me liking the letter Y in names...did you REALLY not catch on to this??? Well now i spelt it out.

Anyways back to names, it appears that the three most liked names were
Claire
Emma
Grace

But thank you for the input even the repeated unnecessary ones I appreciate it. :D

Spelt is correct, actually. Apparently it's not used in the U.S., but it's an accepted past tense form of 'spell' in every other English dialect. :)

You beat me to it. Still a bitchy post though.

iawtc. On the internet, it's even quite easy to double check in the multitude of dictionary websites about the word before declaring how WRONG!!! someone is for using it -.-

Seriously!?! Well I admit my error then.

But you know we Americans are always right so everyone should do things our way!!! (I kid, I kid.)

Haha, no worries. I know that many people just genuinely do not realize that 'spelt' is actually correct. And really, I don't think that it is generally accepted in the U.S. But everywhere else (or at least in Canada and Britain), it is.

I can actually remember my 11th grade English teacher ripping classmates to shreds when they used the word "spelt." :X

I can't tell if you're trying to be snarky, or if you're actually serious. In the first case, I have no response, sorry. If you are serious, and you want to know more about differences between American and British (or Canadian, or Australian) grammar and spelling, there are plenty of internet resources out there.

I'm in the US, I've used it, always felt it was a real word, yet never heard anyone ever use it, glad to know I wasn't dumb, I knew I got it from somewhere, even if it's not common here. Of course, I also used to have a tendency to put 'u' in certain words as well. I must read too much English lit or something, I have no idea.
