Also meant to add that I have an interest in numerology and can kind of understand making small changes so that a child is given a name with a number combination that is more fortuitous.
I have a thing for odd numbers,(ocd a little) so all my childrens first names add up to odd numbers, for this reason i have altered the spelling of two names, but they are still realistic spellings and not way out there, and i wasnt trying to be "creative" either.

I do have to spell out the names occasionally, because there are quite a few diffent ways to spell them. That being said, i also found the spelling for them in a baby book, so someone before me, has also thought of that spelling.
