how would u spell......

[Antonia Blanche]

I would spell them Ava, Jackson, Jett, and Mason. Save your kid a lifetime of spelling his/her name out for everyone.

I'm glad I'm not the only person reminded of the freemasons! I had a teacher name her son Mason, and I thought it was so strange (I didn't know it was so trendy then).

I absolutely agree 100% with PinkPalace suggestions on every name there for the exact same reasons (oooh, how spooky is that )

I like different

1. Ayevah

2. Jaksen

3. Jhette

4 Maesen

Makes your kid an individual

My opinion is that you shouldn't mess with spelling of names too much, and the spellings you have listed are definately messed with! Love the names you have picked though, just like the original spelling though

I may be weird - but I understand where you're coming from - I like that some names are spelt differently to the norm...

for me I like:

Ayva or Ayvah
Jaxxon or Jaxon
Jhett
Mason - the only one I can't see any other way tho...

As a teacher I recommend you stick with the regular spelling or be prepared for a lifetime of misspelling and mispronunciation! (and the ensuing frustration) Also these different spellings are cute when they are little - but will they look good on a business card or name tag as an adult - or just strange? One of my friends changed to the reg spelling by deed poll another changed her name altogether so she would be taken seriously at work (VERY unusual name)

At school we cringe at getting the new lists of names - usually the strange names are the naughty ones (our Jaxon is one of the worst!)

Love the original spelling of these names though - esp Ava - gorgeous!

Good luck - in the end you and your partner are the ones who have to like the name!

Ditto everything CF just said- I am a teacher too and sadly half these kids with the weird spellings are the problem ones! Don't know why but ask any teacher.
