Seriously people! Even common "safe" names are mispelled. What about all of the Jodi's, Jody's, and Jodie's of the world? And the Ann's and Anne's? I don't remember how many times I have been asked to spell my name, and it is Jessica for pete's sake! (or is it Jesika, Jessika, or Jesicah?) Sara or Sarah? Hanna or Hannah? Samuel or Sammuel?
So what if some of us want to choose a unique name for our children? Imagine growing up when there were always at least 3 other Jessica's in your class and turning your head everytime one of your names was called. In college I was forced to go by Jessi (which I hate) because the teacher decided she would call one of us Jessica, one Jess, and one Jessi and I was the last to pick my preference.
I promise my children, whether their names are Raelyn or Mariana or Dane or Jayton, will not have to worry about their best friends having the same name!
So more power to the Raeghan's and Haleigh's and Belah's and Bryton's of the world!!!
