You-nique Your Name

[roxtarrr.livejournal.com]

I made a joke on FB a few days ago about ridiculous spellings of regular names and decided to try it out on my own. Here's what I came up with:

My actual spelling: Catherine
"Unique" spelling: Khaetharyghnn

Obviously it's a little more goofy and over the top than I think (hope!) most people trying to make the name "special" would go but that was the point.

I thought it would be fun to share and see what other people come up with for their own names, too. :)

Also, on a somewhat separate note - what are your thoughts on Jaxson?
I've seen two babies in the last couple months named this and as much as I like the name itself -it kind of drives me nuts with the X and S.

My cousin named his son Jaxxson.... not sure why the double x.... Seems the name is popping up everywhere since the death of Michael Jackson. I prefer the original spelling if I have to chose.

My you-nique name could be spelled: Pseelvee (I guess) but people have a hard time enough spelling it correctly! I've had lots of Slyvie, Silvie, and Silvye. I much prefer Sylvie :)

Ah. Michael Jackson makes sense. I've had it in my mind it had to do with Sons of Anarchy, though. The lead spells his nn Jax, but his full name is still spelled Jackson.

I know that in at least one case that I mentioned above, they spelled it Jaxson bc they want his nn to be Jax and not Jack and they thought this would help?
