spelling...??

Question

which spelling do you like best?

ivan...or...evan ?

ian...or...eian ?

eaden...aeden...or...aaden?

eisha...or...iesha?

would you ever choose name that start with the same first alphabet for all your kids..?

thank you!!

Answer 1

I would most definitely choose names for all of my children that started with the same alphabetic letter. A wonderful friend of mine name starts with a J, her hubby's name starts with an L, and all (6) six kids' names started with K's ~ J-K-L!!!

I would choose these names: Iesha ... Aeden ... Ian ... and Evan!!!! I actually have friends named Evan (a girl) and Ian (a boy).

Good Luck & Congratulations!!

Answer 2

Ivan or Evan?
*** Ivan and Evan are said differently, so it would depend on which you prefer: IE-van or ee-VAHN, or EV-an. Not simply a spelling issue.

Ian or Eian?
*** Of the two, Ian ... hands down. Eian isn't even a valid form. I do, however, like the older Iain spelling as well, if you really want another option.

Eaden, Aeden or Aaden?
*** I honestly don't know what "name" these are supposed to be. If you meant Eden, I prefer Eden. If it's Aidan you're after, stick with Aidan. These are just ... odd.

Eisha or Iesha?
*** Again, these appear to be said ee-IE-sha and ie-EE-sha -- not identical. I realize Iesha is used as a phonetic variant of Aisha, so of the two, I'd go with that option. But I prefer traditional Aisha, to be perfectly honest.

And no, I'd never give my children overly-similar names beginning with the same letter. In fact, I've avoided repeating a first initial for ANY of our three (soon to be four) girls. Just not my style at all. I prefer to give my children names I loved for them as individuals, rather than something I think is *okay* just because it happens to start with the same letter as the first. ;)

Answer 3

Ivan, Ian, Eaden, Eisha

Answer 4

I like Evan, Ian, Aiden, and I can't think of any other ways to spell Eisha/Iesha but it just looks too akward. maybe a different girls name all together. I think it would be okay to name all of your children starting with the same letter but I wouldn't do it if you plan of having very many children as I would think that would be a tongue twister when trying to call for one of them! LOL. Just look at the Duggar family from TLC network. I think they are up to 17 kids now and all of their names start with J's!

Answer 5

I like Ivan and Evan. They are not different spellings - they are completely different names.
Ian.
Aiden. Not any of the spellings you proposed.
Eisha and Iesha are both too fluffy.

I wouldn't recommend naming all the kids with the same letter. It ends up sounding quite goofy as they get older.

Answer 6

it depends on how you want them pronounced...

if you want "EYE-van" Ivan, if you want "EH-van", Evan (i like Evan and Ivan).

if you want "EE-den", Eaden, if you want "AY-den", Aeden or Aaden (I prefer Eden or Aiden, to avoid confusion).

i suppose the others could be pronounced the same spelled either way, but i prefer ian and Aisha.


I think it's okay to have children's first initials the same. My bf has a son named Brandon and if we ever have a child he/she will be Bruce or Beatrix. I think that's cute.

Answer 7

I would go with the easier spellings! But like someone else pointed out, some of those are pronounced differently.

I too had a last name that no one could pronounce and spent my entire life correcting people. It's no fun. Also, everyone spells my first name wrong (even on my wedding announcements! what a nightmare). Make it easy on your child and give them a normal spelled name.

Answer 8

For boys, right?

Ivan
Ian or Eeyan
Aeden

For girls:

Aicha or Aisha... Eisha/Iesha looks (ghetto) black.

Answer 9

it seems that the different "spellings" make different names all together. anywhoo... pick aeden only spell it aiden or something a bit closer to the phonetic pronounciation

Answer 10

Evan
Ian
Aaden
Eisha

No, I am using a different letter for all of my kids names. None of my kids will share an initial except for our last name.
