Which spelling?

[krisbenson.livejournal.com]

Today, I sent my husband a new list of names I compiled while looking on Nymbler.com. He called to tell me our name debate is over, HaHa! He loved one of the names on the list, but he didn't specify which spelling he liked.
Just for fun/out of curiousity, which spelling do you prefer?

Talmage or Talmadge?

...I guess the second one?

I often think of names the way my kids think of names. If my 7 year old, who is just about the least snarky kid ever, would side eye it, I worry about the kid's future on the playground.

My rule for looking at a name is that it has to look good in a birth announcement, on a wedding invitation, and on a nursing home door. If it looks wrong in any of those places, it's not appropriate for a child.
