I'm not a fan of creative spelling at all.

I hate seeing an unnecessary added letter in names, eg: our boys name is going to be Mason, I hate it when people add in a 'Y' for instance, Mayson... I personally do not see the point! Just means that he would be spelling his name out all his life for the sake of having a 'Y' in his name.

I have spent my life pronouncing and spelling my name to people and really it is not that weird, so I decided that when I chose names for my children they would be names that whether or not popular, when said the person would be able to recognise and spell it and when written it is recognised and readable.
