I tend to agree with the poll and I'm not a fan of creative spelling of normal names. Although I do like the unusual names, it irks me seeing a lovely name all messed up with silly spelling.

I thought my name (Lynette) would be easy to spell, but I am always spelling it out for people as I get so many variations of it. Even if I just call myself Lyn, I get variations on that too! DF has even tougher time. He's a Mathieu which is the French spelling of Matthew. Even when you spell it out for people they still stick a 'w' on the end. It's like they can't get their head around it! LOL
