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.

I didn't see any offence, Maz. It's something I have wanted to do since the age of about 14 (all my school books have it on them!) so I thought at Easter "I've wanted this name half my life... why wait any longer? Silly graduation present for next year when I want my proper name on my certificate." So I spoke to Mum and changed my name! Dad laughed at me but his mum was really thrilled as it was her mum's middle name. I should have gotten Mum to do it for me age 14 (she said she would have) then less hassle with changing it on FAR more things now. It's not strength, it's realising I want that name and am never going to get a chance to use it unless I use it on myself!
