I have chosen four very "ordinary" names for my kids, LOL, no for any particular reason, that's just how it turned out, LOL. We have Ashleigh Megan, Sarah Jean, Mitchell John and Jack David. I suppose the only different spelling one is my DD Ashleigh instead of Ashley, at the time there was a lot of Ashley's around...but it was more common for boys..so I girled it up a bit with the "eigh".
I think my name is pretty easy to spell, but you'd be amazed how many variations I get And also my name was traditionally supposed to be pronounced "Mar-Lay-Na" (the proper German pronunciation) but I think over the years my parents got sick of correcting everyone and I ended up just plain old "Mar-Leen". LOL.
Oh, and my middle name is Dorette.
I adore unusual names, but also don;t really like it when people drastically change the spelling of a plain name just to make it unusual (to where it is barely recognisable)...might as well pick a unique name in the first place.
