A sib set from today’s newspaper wdyt?
Izzabelle
Tommee
Ronnee
I don’t mind the names but think the spellings are awful. The names will sound the same as Isabel, Tommy and Ronnie except the children will spend their lives spelling their names.

More about the parents' misguided wish to be different than about the children's life-long inconvenience.
For the record, I like Isabel - prefer Isobel, but it's not serious - and Thomas, nn Tom. Ronnee, especially with that spelling, could well be a form of Veronica, which I find unappealing, though Ronald is worse.

Exactly. I agree completely. Why the creative spellings?

Might've worked in the 1400s or whenever, when people were more liberal with their spelling...

Awful. Reminds me of a distant cousin of mine who has an Ameliah and an Oliviah.

Yes best way to play

Are they all girls? Cause that is doable. Otherwise it's just silly.

Awful
I feel bad for these poor kids. The names are okay, but what's wrong with the proper spellings? I mean, I don't mind alternative spellings, but I draw the line at spellings that look like the parents just spilled Scrabble tiles on the floor and picked letters at random.

Isabelle, Thomas and Ronald are decent classical names, the latter two might even be considered a bit old-fashioned.
I don't judge, but I see no point in spelling them that way, the names are still the same, they just look misspelled on paper.
P.S. I wonder whether stand-alone nickname-names are a thing in the UK, or is it an international trend?
I mean conventional NN, not the ones mentioned above.

Oy vey. That's pretty bad. Isabelle and Tommy or Ronnie would be okay, but Ronnie and Tommy would still sound too similar.

Those spellings are ridiculous.

Oof
Awful.
I'm reimagining this sibset as Isabeau, Thomasine, and Frederonne, which delights me.
