Buzzfeed recently posted an article about an American family who named their daughter Ottilie because they knew an English woman with the name, but upon realizing that Americans weren't going to pronounce it the same way, they changed her name to Margot. Their older daughter's name is Hadley, which I don't think goes with either name.

Of course, in the comments the discussion turned to people's own names and names that aren't easily pronounced, and one girl said her name is Jeccika, the "uncommon" spelling of Jessica. But she says she's thankful her parents gave her something so unique.

WDYT?

I think that spelling literally looks like a speech impediment.

I'd say Jek-ki-ka. As long as she likes her name, if a kid doesnt then parents should give other options- nickname, middle name, family name etc.


That article was discussed on my local news panel & they interviewed a woman called Darling. I love Ottilie and Margot they'd make a great sibset, dislike Hadley.
