Help[Opinions] Re: Emaleigh
in reply to a message by HisDreamGirl
Its yet another bad spelling of a lovely classic name
Why do I think its bad
1) Emily is such a popular name that the majority of people know how it is spelt so a girl with this name will be forever correcting everyone when they assume the Emily spelling
2) Emaleigh is a very creative spelling that is only different on paper, try going to a playground full of children and call Emaleigh and you will find that all the many many little girls called Emily, Emaleigh, Emalee, Emmaleigh, Emilee and more will come running, so a creative spelling of a very popualr name doesnt make the child unique or different
3) Emaleigh will still be Emaleigh B In a class with other Emily/whatever spellings so being creative wont help to single her out, we say a name aloud far more than we write it down.
4) This might bother some children more than others, it annoys my daughter no end when she sees the little nicknacks with names printed on them, half the time you can only find Katherine and her name is Catherine, think how it will be for Emaleigh, sure you can send away to have things specially printed but why go to all the trouble when Emily is always on the pencils, keyrings excetra
5)It always puzzles me why if a person wants to be creative and really give their child an unusual name they dont just find a pretty rarely used name that will stand out from the crowd, rather than a creative spelling of a very very popular name
