omg great site! I didn't know this existed. There's even a section toward the bottom where people put comments of exactly how they were bullied/etc with their name. (Interestingly, no one with the spelling "Aine" reported the "get up ON YA" sexual reference bullying, but they did for the spellings Ania and Anya - not to say it doesn't happen, but using the other spellings certainly aren't going to help in that regard!)

We named DS1 Quinten and as you can plainly see that is an unusual spelling for Quentin/Quinton, but to me Quinten just fit him perfectly, and I'm sure he will have to a time spelling it out because everyone's gonna want to spell "quinton"
My husband has a very common name with an unusal spelling. He has to spell his name for everyone because how its spelled is different than ppl would think to pronounce. Besides that, he was the one who really wanted to give Quinten a unique spelling.
Evan we stuck to easy to spell and pronouce, Lillian will be easy. Quinten's so proud of his name, he tells everyone he meets "i'm quinten" i just hope he still loves it.
I hated my name growing up (Virginia) because I was the only one I knew with the name plus I also lived in the state of the same name. I got teased for it a lot "Your mom named you after the state???" which I wouild reply, "no it's a family name" (grandmother's). Once i got out of school though, I really embraced it and I've take ownership of it.
Unique names/spellings are so tricky...they may go perfectly or they make make the child upset!

Anya? ETA I just read the rest of the thread and I see several other people suggested this. I do think Aine looks prettier somehow tho.

Quinten is easy to pronounce tho, don't you think?? For me it wasn't just the spelling thing, it was the spelling and pronouncing and there were SOOO many ways to spell and mispronounce Kristin.
I do think any unusual name is probably easier to pull off now than it once was, simply because there are so many unusual names out there now. It is probably a lot less an issue than it once was.Last edited by atomic sagebrush; May 28th, 2012 at 12:24 AM.

I do like the spelling of it Anya...I think it lends itself to being better pronounced in that form.

My son's name is "unusual" I guess but still rather normal, but we've had every reaction imaginable to it, like my older brother saying, "You're not going to name him THAT are you?!" (We had the name picked out years before we got pregnant with him!)
We also ALWAYS get, "Is he named after Otis Redding?"
We say, "No, he's named after and for his own self!"
People like to think they are being clever, don't they? :P2010 - 1 DS
2012 - Tried for a DD , and it worked!
2013 - DD
2017 - DD - didn't sway***
Results 31 to 40 of 57
