Help[Opinions] Re: Isael
in reply to a message by Feorsteorra
Interesting. When I first saw it, it looked like Ismael which is one of my favourite names. I got it from the Internet, and the Isael in question is a young boy from the US. Maybe his parents are Brazilian?
I guess Isael may look like a typo, and it could be annoying to correct people all the time. But you're right, people can just get used to it, there are much more complicated names out there.
P.S.: Aidan looks like the natural spelling to me. The first and only Aidans I met are from Ireland, where the name is used with this spelling. Actually, I was surprised when I started seeing Aiden, etc.

I hadn't even thought of Ismael, but that's also only one letter off! I guess since I'm more used to seeing it spelled Ishmael.
(Almost no one was named Aidan when my brother and I were growing up, but he was named for one of our ancestors - we're Canadian and our background is mostly English, Irish, and Scottish. Now, everyone under ten is named Aidan or Aiden or Aden or Ayden or whatever.)
