Holy crap. That's all I'm gonna say to express how I feel O-0

Umm...no.

My son is Abel and I work at a Harley dealership. I constantly get asked if he's named for Son's of Anarchy. I finally started answering yes.

"Yes, my son is named after the son of a member of a fake TV biker gang on a show that I barely pay attention to because it's become such bullshit trash."

That wasn't supposed to be a reply to you specifically, sorry.

Yeah, I was reading those comments, too. It seemed like the vast majority of them defended the idea of changing a name's spelling and believed that it did, in fact, make the name unique. I respectfully disagree with them on that...

Those are insane. I like Jackson Abel (don't get the SoA reference), Alexis and Blake, Logan Craig, Jasper and Morris, Kingston and Israel, and Liam and Fiona, but the rest are nuts.

I want to pronounce Lyaness like "lioness". I try not to be too judgmental, but most of the spellings here are laughable.

Also, I can't stand Gracin/Gracyn because I work at an amusement park where we sell a lot of personalized merchandise (necklaces, cups, keychains, etc.), and this lady said to her son, "Oh, Grace. We can get that for your sister." I started talking to her and pointed to my nametag saying, "Oh, yeah, Grace. You know, there weren't any Graces when I was little but now---" and the lady said, "Grace or Gracyn? My daughter's name is Gracyn." And her voice just dripped with tones of "You're stupid."

What is Lyaness?!?

Xysis sounds like a disease.

[medamina.livejournal.com]

I read that as "lioness" as well! Either way I seriously dislike it.

I also try for a non-judgmental approach but that whole list made me either laugh or want to cry for the kids!

Btw, Grace is MUCH prettier, consider yourself the far more fortunate one. I can deal with Gracelyn, but Gracyn makes no sense at all to me.

I like Gracelyn/Grace and Addison.

Gracin makes me sad because I like it spelled Gracyn (for a girl); I think it's more feminine. After typing it out, I realized, it's Josh Gracin's last name. Azlyn makes me think of the Lion in the Chronicles of Narnia. Fiona makes me think of Shrek.
