Does anyone else only like certain names if they are spelled in a specific way? Or is it just me?
For example, I only like [name_f]Caitlin[/name_f] when it is spelled like this. I don’t like [name_f]Katelyn[/name_f], [name_f]Catelyn[/name_f], [name_f]Katelin[/name_f], Kateland, etc.
Other names I like only with certain spellings:
[name_f]Sofia[/name_f] (not [name_f]Sophia[/name_f])
[name_f]Rafaela[/name_f] (not [name_f]Raphaela[/name_f])
[name_f]Kate[/name_f] (not [name_f]Cate[/name_f], [name_f]Cait[/name_f], [name_f]Kait[/name_f], etc.)
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] (not [name_f]Elinore[/name_f], Ellanore, etc.)
[name_m]Viktor[/name_m] (not [name_m]Victor[/name_m])
What names do you like only when they are spelled in a certain way?
I agree with a lot of those. Also
[name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] (not madeline)
[name_f]Anabella[/name_f] (not [name_f]Annabella[/name_f])
Basically all names with a C, never substituting a K (except a few-[name_f]Katherine[/name_f], [name_f]Kaia[/name_f], [name_f]Katerina[/name_f], etc)
Elinora (not [name_f]Eleanora[/name_f]), but [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] (not [name_f]Elinor[/name_f])
[name_f]Hallie[/name_f] (not [name_u]Halle[/name_u])
[name_f]Isobel[/name_f] (not [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f]/[name_f]Isabel[/name_f])
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f] (not [name_f]Juliette[/name_f])
[name_f]Lila[/name_f] (not [name_f]Lyla[/name_f])
[name_f]Leila[/name_f] (not [name_f]Layla[/name_f]/[name_f]Laila[/name_f])
[name_f]Maia[/name_f] (not [name_f]Maya[/name_f])
[name_u]Skylar[/name_u] (not [name_u]Skyler[/name_u])
[name_f]Sarah[/name_f] (not [name_f]Sara[/name_f])
[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] (not [name_u]Vivian[/name_u])
[name_f]Zoe[/name_f] (not [name_f]Zoey[/name_f])

I feel the same about so many of those names. Especially [name_f]Isobel[/name_f], [name_f]Juliet[/name_f], [name_f]Lila[/name_f], [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f], [name_f]Zoe[/name_f], [name_u]Aiden[/name_u], [name_u]Niko[/name_u], [name_m]Nikolai[/name_m], [name_u]Riley[/name_u], and [name_m]Sean[/name_m].
[name_u]Abbey[/name_u] not [name_u]Abby[/name_u]/[name_u]Abbie[/name_u]
[name_m]Viktor[/name_m] not [name_m]Victor[/name_m]
[name_f]Ayla[/name_f] not [name_f]Isla[/name_f]
[name_f]Alyson[/name_f] not [name_u]Allison[/name_u]/[name_f]Alison[/name_f] etc
[name_f]Rosy[/name_f] not [name_f]Rosie[/name_f]
[name_f]Evey[/name_f] not [name_f]Evie[/name_f]
[name_m]Lucien[/name_m] not [name_m]Lucian[/name_m]
[name_f]Annabel[/name_f] not [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f]
[name_u]Arya[/name_u] not [name_f]Aria[/name_f]
[name_f]Twyla[/name_f] not [name_f]Twila[/name_f]
I actually had a professor spell my name that way a couple of times. I don’t know where he got that from.
I tend to prefer spellings that I think will be easier depending on the languages spoken in the area. I prefer [name_f]Rafaela[/name_f] only because I think with so many spanish speakers in the US, it’s more straight forward than the double Ls of [name_f]Rafaella[/name_f]/Raphaella.
[name_m]Aksel[/name_m] over [name_m]Axel[/name_m]
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f] over [name_f]Juliette[/name_f] ([name_f]Juliette[/name_f] = sadism for me even though I tend to love french names)
[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] over [name_f]Cecelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Nora[/name_f] over [name_f]Norah[/name_f]
[name_f]Cara[/name_f] over [name_f]Kara[/name_f]
[name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] over [name_f]Silvia[/name_f]
[name_m]Erik[/name_m] over [name_m]Eric[/name_m] (I still don’t understand why it was changed when it started getting used in English)
[name_f]Katerina[/name_f] over [name_f]Caterina[/name_f]
[name_f]Karolina[/name_f] over [name_f]Carolina[/name_f] (only because I feel like the latter would be pronounced like the state)

I definitely like [name_u]Carson[/name_u] more than [name_f]Carsyn[/name_f], and [name_u]Emerson[/name_u] more than [name_f]Emersyn[/name_f]. I have never heard [name_f]Avalyn[/name_f] before, but it’s pretty.
@oliviasarah -
I know a girl called Kateland. I always though that she was just [name_f]Katelyn[/name_f] (or some other spelling), because she goes by [name_f]Katie[/name_f]. I was fairly surprised when I first saw her full name written down.
I also feel the same about [name_f]Isobel[/name_f] and [name_f]Annabel[/name_f] - I don’t like those names with any other spelling.
@bellerose -
I definitely feel the same about [name_m]Viktor[/name_m], [name_m]Lucien[/name_m], and [name_f]Annabel[/name_f].

I prefer [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] over [name_f]Silvia[/name_f], [name_m]Erik[/name_m] over [name_m]Eric[/name_m], and [name_f]Katerina[/name_f] over [name_f]Caterina[/name_f] as well.
Most of the time I prefer a certain spelling (like [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] instead of [name_f]Juliette[/name_f]) but I still like the name. The exception is [name_f]Clara[/name_f]. I don’t care for [name_f]Clara[/name_f] at all but I love [name_f]Klara[/name_f].

[name_m]Jonathan[/name_m] over [name_m]Johnathon[/name_m]/[name_m]Johnathan[/name_m] etc.
