Easy to spell names

Girl Names
1

I am on the hunt for a perfect girl name that is easy to spell, but isn’t boring! My parents named me [name_f]Rachael[/name_f] in '89 and to this day nobody can ever spell it correctly. I will spell it out for them and things still always say [name_f]Rachel[/name_f]. I considered changing the spelling when I was in college but my mom was horrified by that idea despite being able to provide no solid reason as to why she chose [name_f]Rachael[/name_f] to begin with. It didn’t help growing up in the 90’s/00’s where it felt like every other girl I met was “lucky” and got to be [name_f]Rachel[/name_f]. So that’s my backstory and why I am so desperate to find a name that I love that can be spelled by the masses.

So far my list consists of [name_f]Emma[/name_f], [name_u]Harper[/name_u], [name_u]Skylar[/name_u], [name_f]Kinsley[/name_f], and [name_f]Paige[/name_f]. I had [name_f]Adeline[/name_f], [name_f]Lila[/name_f], and [name_f]Kaitlyn[/name_f] on my list at one point but took them off because of how many spellings there are. My husband really likes [name_f]Kaylee[/name_f] but that’s a big fat NO from me because she will be spelling it out forever! I think my main issue is that [name_f]Emma[/name_f] and [name_u]Harper[/name_u] are just a little bit too popular for my liking, not that I’m really against popularity but I don’t want her name to feel boring in 15 years. My husband isn’t the biggest supporter of [name_f]Kinsley[/name_f] and [name_f]Paige[/name_f]. I am open to ANY suggestions! I’d prefer it goes nicely with our last name [name_m]Nesbit[/name_m] and my DS’s name [name_m]Jacob[/name_m] [name_m]William[/name_m].

In terms of unquestionable spellings, I think [name_f]Emma[/name_f] and [name_u]Harper[/name_u] are the best of your list. There are several other spelling variations of [name_u]Skylar[/name_u] and [name_f]Kinsley[/name_f]. And while you would think everyone would get [name_f]Paige[/name_f] right, my sister is named [name_f]Paige[/name_f] and people spell it ‘[name_u]Page[/name_u]’ half the time. So annoying.

Here are some names that pretty much have one spelling (or one spelling far more common than any other variation, like [name_f]Rachel[/name_f]):

[name_f]Abigail[/name_f], [name_f]Alice[/name_f], [name_f]Alma[/name_f], [name_f]April[/name_f], [name_f]Audra[/name_f], [name_f]Audrey[/name_f], [name_u]Aubrey[/name_u], [name_u]Avery[/name_u], [name_f]Avril[/name_f]

Based on your style, I like the idea of something like [name_f]Chloe[/name_f], [name_f]Natalie[/name_f], [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], or [name_f]Julia[/name_f]. All feminine, well-known, and easy to spell without a lot of other options. Part of the problem with [name_f]Rachael[/name_f] is that because [name_f]Rachel[/name_f] is so well-known people assume it’s spelled one way only. I think if you did end up going with something that has a variety of other spellings as long as your child has the most common spelling she’ll likely be fine. If you chose to name her something like [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] (which has like 15+ spellings) she would be absolutely fine, while poor [name_f]Alyvia[/name_f] will have issues. Now, [name_f]Kaylee[/name_f] I agree will always have to spell her name despite being the most popular spelling, same with [name_u]Riley[/name_u], [name_f]Aaliyah[/name_f], and [name_f]Madelyn[/name_f].

I think [name_f]Emma[/name_f] and [name_u]Harper[/name_u] are your best bets. Other ideas:
[name_f]Hannah[/name_f]
[name_f]Abigail[/name_f]
[name_f]Adelaide[/name_f]
[name_u]Darby[/name_u]
[name_u]Quinn[/name_u]
[name_u]Morgan[/name_u]
[name_u]Shelby[/name_u]
[name_u]Hadley[/name_u]

As far as simplicity of spelling goes, I think [name_f]Emma[/name_f] and [name_u]Harper[/name_u] are your best bets. [name_f]Kinsley[/name_f] and [name_u]Skylar[/name_u] in particular could be spelled a variety of ways ([name_f]Kinslee[/name_f], Kynsley, Kynslee, [name_u]Skyler[/name_u], Skilar, etc.), and even [name_f]Paige[/name_f] might occasionally be spelled [name_u]Page[/name_u].

Here are just a few other names I can think of off the top of my head that are spelled fairly intuitively.

[name_u]Haven[/name_u]
[name_f]Ella[/name_f]
[name_f]Nova[/name_f]
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]
[name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_f]Anna[/name_f]
[name_f]Elise[/name_f]
[name_u]London[/name_u]
[name_f]Brynn[/name_f]
[name_u]Teagan[/name_u]
[name_u]Brooklyn[/name_u]
[name_f]Hannah[/name_f]
[name_f]Holly[/name_f]
[name_f]Alexandra[/name_f]
[name_f]Alyssa[/name_f]

Additionally, I would say that anther fairly safe bet is somewhat more old fashioned names, because spellings are very “set”. It doesn’t seem quite your style, but I can’t imagine anyone misspelling [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], [name_f]Harriet[/name_f], [name_u]Rudy[/name_u], [name_f]Claudia[/name_f], [name_f]Ava[/name_f], [name_f]Jane[/name_f], [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f], [name_f]Cora[/name_f], [name_f]Elaine[/name_f], [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f], etc., so that is something to consider!

I love the names [name_f]Miranda[/name_f], [name_f]Hannah[/name_f], and [name_f]Justine[/name_f].

I think you should just change the spelling of your name, but I love the name [name_f]Rachel[/name_f] so don’t change it!
