But spell is correctly!! I'm so over people who choose to make up ridiculous spelling's of names because they want to be 'unique'. It's doesn't tell people that your 'cool' or 'unique', rather that you're illiterate!!!!!!!!! honestly, go with an uncommon, unique name if you wish. But spell is correctly!!

I'm not crazy about how trendy and dated my name is, so for the kids I got to name, I chose ones I thought were classic and timeless: Nicholas (which became super trendy), Alexander (not as super popular as Nicholas but was pretty popular) and Simon (rarely, if ever met a Simon growing up but right after I named mine I ran into several baby Simons). I know of a ton of Nicholas/Alexander sibling pairs, too. Heh, I guess there were a lot of folks looking for classic, timeless names! Alternate to the extreme!
