"Unusual Spellings of Baby Names Out of Control"

[Bathsheba]

I know what you mean Rory... and tend to agree.

Regarding the newspaper readership (Herald Sun) I too am surprised that it's 91% against the current trends... demographics would indicate to me that the average Sun reader is probably more likely to be part of the "out of control" group. Hope this doesn't miff any Sun fans.

It would be interesting to see how The Age or The Australian readership polled. My guess is that their more conservative readers would be even closer to 100% in saying "Yes".

The Sun is good for sport... that's why I read it mainly... DH brings home both the Sun and The Age daily.

its funny coz i like unusual spelling but my son has a very traditional name james but only because he was named after someone i really like vyolett (maz )as a spelling coz it looks pretty and its still spelt like its said and i also like jaxon which is a bit out there i think the issue is the frustration ppl have when they have to constantly spell their name for ppl hence the poll results
