As you all know, there are a lot of popular names these days that seem to have a million spellings! Some are international variations, but some are just tryndee. Anyway, I was wondering, if you heard a mother calling these names, which spelling do you assume? Is it the most popular? Your favorite? Or the one you are most familiar with? I’ll put the one I myself would assume for the list.
The only ones that aren’t because of the amount I have personally met are [name]Isabel[/name] (it’s how I spell my name), [name]Elliott[/name] (I loveee this name and have thought a lot about it’s spellings, so when I hear it I picture my favorite) and [name]Micaela[/name] (one of my best friend’s name)
I’d agree with all the ones listed except [name]Kaitlyn[/name] and [name]Micaela[/name]. I’d spell them (without seeing them previously spelled) [name]Caitlyn[/name], and [name]Mikayla[/name].
I wouldn’t assume anything with the bizarre spellings out there. Below are the ones where my preferred spelling differs from yours:
[name]Isabel[/name], [name]Isabelle[/name], or [name]Isobel[/name] - I have a slight preference for the latter spelling, but I think they’re all acceptable.
[name]Elliot[/name] or [name]Eliot[/name] - the double T throws it off balance for me
[name]Catherine[/name] or [name]Katherine[/name] - I have no druthers either way
[name]Michaela[/name]
[name]Aiden[/name]–[name]Aiden[/name].
[name]Isabel[/name]–I would probably assume [name]Isabelle[/name], but much prefer [name]Isobel[/name]/[name]Isabel[/name].
[name]Kaitlyn[/name]–I would assume [name]Caitlin[/name]. It is also my favorite spelling of this name.
[name]Caden[/name]–Assume [name]Caden[/name] or [name]Cayden[/name].
[name]Kaylee[/name]–Assume [name]Kaylee[/name].
[name]Hailey[/name]–Assume [name]Hailey[/name]. Also my favorite spelling.
[name]Catherine[/name]–Assume [name]Katherine[/name]. [name]Katherine[/name]/[name]Catherine[/name] = my favorites.
