Spelling for correct pronounciation?

[AliBaby]

As a teacher I see lots of names and sometimes have to guess pronounciation - but as pandora said, people get used to it. I also considered this when naming my DS. If I looked at the roll book and saw Arlee or Arleigh I would know what to say. I think I prefer the spelling as Arlee though....I like em both!

Same! When choosing the name Ashlyn for my daughter I chose against the traditional gaelic way of spelling it which is Aisling as I thought that teachers would pronounce it incorrectly.

Arleigh is so beautiful. At first I wasn't sure, but when I look at it written that way, I'm a teeny bit in love...
