Wow... SO many alternate spellings. Some of those are perfectly nice names (Derek, Natalie, even Phaedra) that have been totally ruined by of-the-wall spellings.
Most of these are spelling disasters or just sound atrocious, but some sound nice and are spelled fine... with bad implications. For example, I would NEVER name a child Pandora or Phaedra!
Some of those look perfectly nice and normal to me. What's wrong with Easton, August, Wendell, Willow, Micaela, Autumn, Sophia Lynn, etc.? True, some are truly terrible spellings but I wouldn't call a lot of them "interesting."
I tried to include sibsets so you could see that some people gave perfectly normal names while giving other kids bad ones.
Ah gotcha! It makes more sense to me now. I was thinking some of them were just fine. The people that used the same first and middle initial for their kids...uh, yeah.
Re: FB names
Through my teen years, I wanted to name my son lyric. Grew out of it lol
Each to their own I suppose, some of those kids will have some trouble with spelling.
I like Willow, I think it's pretty.
Yikes! Some of those are pretty awful.
Honestly, Ahn.esti? Blech.

Agreed, so excellent! I don't have the balls to use names like these.

Yes, Archi.medes and Achi.lles are brothers.
There were a lot more names that were more classic, but I just gave some of the ones that I felt were more "original".

What's with the dots in the names?
What's wrong with Brian Matthew? It seems to be the only normal name on there. They should be given an award.
