How interesting! I like a lot of these names, and didn’t realize a few (like [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] and [name_f]Rhea[/name_f]) had so many spellings!

I feel like I’ve had about a billion different spellings of [name_f]Aaliyah[/name_f] and [name_f]Kaliyah[/name_f] in my classrooms, so I’m not too surprised by this, but I am wondering about how people manage to spell [name_f]Kaliyah[/name_f] QUITE so many different ways.
