When people make up names, why can’t they use traditional phonics?

The only reason I can understand changing the spelling of any name, (if you absoloutely must) is when the changed spelling gives you the "right" pronunciation, or the one you want.

There was a question on here about the name Malachi and how to spell it for it to be said "Mal-a-Kye" and not "Mal-a-kee" That, I do kind of get.

But the changing of a relatively "common" normal, well known name, to make it unique, it just shows the intelligence level of the person really. Its that same with the morons who take a boy's name and spell it "differently" to make it more girly! Why? You've chose a boys name, hence it being boyish! Sorry, I've digressed!

Yes I do. I also think they attach a stigma to their child, because people judge them on their "unique" spelling. They will be think "oh so you come from one of THOSE families" Which is unfair for the child.

When I read the names before I didn't really recognize them as what they were supposed to be. Luhcie wasn't too bad but Dahsea was a mess and a phage ,has something to do with microorganisms or something. I completely agree that some people are just adding letters to make it creative without actually trying to match the sounds anymore. Then again English is a tough language and most people never learn how to read the pronunciation guides because they simply don't get it. PH makes the F sound and any vowel followed by and H makes it short but not everyone knows this. It just goes to show the education level of people when they choose to use "creative" spellings and end up ruining the name. Sometimes creative works but in this case the names don't even resemble the names they are meant to.

I truly don't understand why people care so dang much on how they want to spell THEIR childs name. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying I agree with her spellings because they are completely and utterly atrocious but still, that's just how some people prefer it.

I'm sure it will cause problems for the child but it's kind of like my name, Sarah. Since I have an H at the end of mine I'm CONSTANTLY asked "with or without an H". It's the most annoying thing ever! There are plenty of names out there with alternate spellings which, even the normal ones, cause problems.

Well

Absolutely, I work with children. Weird spellings make the database administration hell. This is passed on to the child when they are left out because of a screw up with admin.

Luna -- i like this call. it is so wonderful. yet I ought to declare that the nickname Looney isn't very flattering. Fiona -- i think of that is desirable. The call of a princess. in line with threat I purely think of that because of Shreck video clips, yet nevertheless, the call is desirable and chic. Georgina -- i like the call, even with the undeniable fact that it continually makes me think of of a rather conceited individual... No concept why, nonetheless. Lisa -- that is exceptionally user-friendly. I merely understand maximum of Lisas, i could in no way use it for my toddler. yet there is not something incorrect with the call. Arianna -- It makes me think of of a wealthy little lady in a pink fairy princess dress. i don't like it for some reason. Norah -- some human beings say that's the call of an previous woman, yet i think of that is exceptionally and desirable.

Yes they cause so many problems for the child. I don't see how parents can't see that. I ran across a spelling of the name Sophia as Sopheighyah, because the mother was in love with the "eigh" way of spelling....Why, oh why do that???

Another thing I find annoying are the names Sean and Phoebe. Neither name is pronounced the way they are spelled! When I look at the boys name Sean, I say SEEN. the word "bean" is pronounced with the double "ee" sound, I don't see why the name Sean is not spoken the same way. When it is spelled Shawn or Shaun, then you have the right sound and pronunciation.

When I look at the girls name Phoebe, I say FOE-BEE. Where in the world does "oe" sound like "ee"??? It drives me crazy sometimes!!

the spelling will hurt their children, not only when people can't pronounce their name (lifelong), but when they try to learn to spell their name. They won't have it easy. They are trying to be different and unique, but that can be just damaging.

Yes names like LaTonka, and Shakeil, and Nakai. Dashawun all imbarassing names that should be kept traditional black or white.
