I don't think she was having a go at the spelling of the name Erin, just using it as an example when talking about people revealing the names. Her sister confided in her that Erin was on the list, she told her what she REALLY though about it and her sister never consulted her again. Hence the reason i tend not to tell many people our name ideas.

I also agree with Pandora, the article isn't having digs at names from different ethnicities, but more the made up names and the creaative and unuusual speeling for the sake of it.

But whatever, call your baby what you like!
