Baby Names

F/U to my spelling experiment

Sorry it took a bit to get back to you.

Anyway, I was curious to see if the majority of people chose the most common spelling with every name or if it was dependent on the name itself. It seems for the majority you all chose the most common spelling. Although for some, it was dependent on name.

I was actually surprised by how many people did like the spelling of Zoey over Zoe. 

I also found it funny how some people needed to change Isabel to Isabelle, even though Isabel is a correctly spelled variation of this name.

A lot of years and a million tears finally led me to you.
After 7 years trying to concieve, 3 failed IUIs and 2 failed IVFs, my third IVF was a success!
My Christmas baby turned into a turkey bird! Dillon Richard was born at 34 weeks, 5 days on November 28, 2009 after 10 weeks on bedrest for preeclampsia.

Re: F/U to my spelling experiment

  • ewww @ zoey.

    interesting, though.

  • I was one of the ones who had to change it to Isabelle, I know it's not really the "correct" spelling, but it just looks prettier to me spelled that way. I do the same thing with Annabelle, and that name was pretty high on my girl's name list.

    Isabelle and Isabel are equally correct, as are Annabel and Annabelle. It's a matter of personal preference, just like Katherine vs. Catherine.

    Not so with Zoey, which isn't an actual, accepted spelling. It's an apples and oranges comparison.

    This.

     

    Also, I prefer the Spanish spelling - "Isobel"

  • People on this board have weird spelling quirks. They hate things with unnecessary or non standard letters, unless it's Zoey or Norah. And then they prefer those weird celebrity spellings over the real ones!

    I'm opposite (I didn't participate in the spelling experiment, so I want to voice my opinion here! Stick out tongue).

    I prefer Zoey because with Zoe it doesn't look like it has the "ee" sounding part at the end. I think of Zoe like Toe or Joe (you don't say Toe-E or Joe-E). Meh, just what I think Smile

    Yeah, I like Zoey better. I also think that Zoe looks like Zoh, while adding the y pretty much assures correct pronunciation. Or there's always Zooey, as in Deschanel. I named my baby girl kitty Zoey :)

    This is the "alternate" spelling I think of because of J.D. Salinger's book, "Franny & Zooey".
