Here post names that have common alternate spellings.
This is a place to discuss these spelling alternates and vote on the best spellings of these names.
For me, it’s a competition between [name_f]Madison[/name_f] and [name_f]Maddison[/name_f], but I ultimately prefer the latter.
[name_f]Leila[/name_f]
[name_f]Layla[/name_f]
[name_f]Laila[/name_f]
[name_f]Leyla[/name_f]
Which is best?
[name_m]Classic[/name_m] [name_f]Madison[/name_f] is my fave
And the rest classics haha
@anyacressin_9 I prefer [name_f]Madison[/name_f] - sleek and simple - but I don’t mind [name_f]Maddison[/name_f] either
@lucy_halo1 I guess it depends whether you want the original - [name_f]Leila[/name_f] - but face the fact it can be pronounced LYE-luh too - or if you want it to be more obviously LAY-luh, then well established [name_f]Layla[/name_f] is great too
@Julie_NameNerd [name_f]Alison[/name_f]! I like the clean, sleekness of it
[name_f]Waverley[/name_f] or [name_f]Waverly[/name_f]?

@lucy_halo1 [name_f]Layla[/name_f], I also like [name_f]Leila[/name_f] but I spent a long thinking this was said lee-luh and have never quite managed to get my brain to accept that its not.
@Julie_NameNerd [name_f]Allison[/name_f]
@Greyblue [name_f]Waverly[/name_f]
For all of these my preference is definitely just whichever I saw first/am more familiar with and is therefore the one that now looks the most “right” to me.
[name_f]Isabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Isobel[/name_f]

@anyacressin_9 [name_f]My[/name_f] favorite is [name_f]Madison[/name_f], I do know a Madysen though if you wanted to add more to that list.
@lucy_halo1 I like all of them except [name_f]Leyla[/name_f], but [name_f]Laila[/name_f] is the most aesthetically pleasing to me
@Julie_NameNerd In theory I like [name_f]Alison[/name_f] best, but I’ve only met Allisons so [name_f]Alison[/name_f] feels a bit incomplete when I see it.
@Greyblue [name_f]Waverly[/name_f]
@sammaegre [name_f]Isobel[/name_f]
@anyacressin_9 I have a soft spot for [name_f]Viviane[/name_f], but of these [name_f]Vivian[/name_f] and [name_f]Vivien[/name_f] are my favorites and I like them equally.
@anyacressin_9 [name_f]Macie[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosamonde[/name_f], [name_f]Rosamond[/name_f], [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f], [name_f]Rosemund[/name_f], [name_f]Rosemond[/name_f], [name_f]Rosemonde[/name_f], or Rosemunde?
I go back and forth with [name_f]Rosamond[/name_f] and [name_f]Rosamonde[/name_f]

@Posielee I usually go for [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f]
@anyacressin_9 it depend entirely on how its pronounced. [name_f]My[/name_f] top choice is [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] with the “line” ending but if its said “lyn” then I prefer [name_f]Madelyn[/name_f]. [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] is also very elegant looking so I can see the appeal, but I would say that a third different way with more an “len” sound.
