"My son is Maksymilian so, the name isn't unique but the spelling is."

Changing the spelling doesn't make it a unique name. I will never understand the thought process on that decision. Names are said out loud way more than they are written down, so it's still the same.

I want to spend the day following around the people who do birth certificates at the hospital. I need to know how they cope with so much idiot.

I think this is why I got so many happy reactions to hearing I was naming my son Henry.

They do realize this poor HUMAN BEING will have to write that on every god damn piece of paper for the rest of his life, right? 10 bucks says when he's old enough to realize how horrible it is and how easy it could have been he starts going by MAX.

Not a "unique" spelling - it's the Polish version. Though, whether or not they know that, I'm not sure. But it is legit.

Unique isn't a word I'd use for that. Atrocious on the other hand...
