My daughter's name is jemima and her best friend same age and small country town is Jemimah! You can't win.
Our surname has to be spelt even though it is not unique there are just half a dozen ways to spell it.

Unique and traditional are changing constantly all you can do is spell it the most logic or commonist way possible.

There is a difference between unique and "weird"
My hubby has many rules to say no to names and one of them is "its not even a name rule" and oh the "how do you spell it rule"
