Zoe Jacklynn update

The baby is now three weeks old and they've changed their mind about the spelling of the middle name (which most of you didn't like). The new spelling is Jaqualin.

Zoe Jaqualin Stowe

better, worse, or just screwy in a different way?

my initial thought is that the new way is going to be harder for her to learn to spell, but it does look more feminine.

Much, much worse. The last one was a little tacky, but not so bad - this one is arbitrary and ridiculous and strange-looking and may confuse people tryint to pronounce it.

It's JACQUELINE. What is wrong with the proper spelling??

I completely agree.

nothing is wrong with the "proper" spelling. but nothing is wrong with alternatives either.

my name is Madelynne and there are easily a dozen ways to spell that name. i don't really see it as an issue of there being a "proper" spelling. my way is just proper for me. :)

Well, Madelynne doesn't look strange and won't cause pronunciation confusion. I always prefer classic spellings, but I think Madelynne is all right.

But actually, I think there _is_ something wrong with the alternative "Jaqualin." It's random and odd-looking and confusing. I really think that in this case Jacqueline looks the most beautiful and will be the smallest PITA in terms of spelling and pronunciation.

But to each their own. Zoe's awesome :)
