I was catching up on old entries and was highly amused by the link to Utah Baby Names (that link goes to the post, not the site, sorry).

From there I found this little article which should probably be the manifesto of this community, or something:

The Nayme Gaimme.

Actually I think the example given was Maydson, not Madyson... there really is a difference there. Madyson is just another way of spelling Madison that, although trendy, is pronounced the same. Maydson is just wrong, unless you want it to be pronounced maidson. But like you said, if I met this person I would still have to call them "Madison" despite their spelling, since it is how they pronounce their name. I just think altering the spelling of names to the point where they should logically be pronounced some different way is stupid and pointless. You can still completely alter the spelling of a name in a way that keeps the original pronunciation if you do want to be creative.
