The solution is to put all of the uniqueness in the middle name. Then you still get to feel “special” while not forcing your kid to go by “tragedeigh” or whatever.
When I chose my name - I made my first as milquetoast and appropriate to my age as possible. My middle I went balls out - I guarantee I have a cooler middle name than you do.
I named my son Jaxin because my wife wanted Jax and I didn't want my son to have a dog's name.
I regret not just naming him Jackson because nobody in Taiwan knows how to pronounce Jaxin.
JaXin would, I believe, be a normal Chinese name - but pronounced quite differently!
Hate to pile on, but could have done Jackson and then called him Jax for short just as easily. Hell Dick is short for Richard, short names don't have to be spelled the same.
I knew a guy so ghetto he got his first name as his Xbox Live Gamertag.
Brayden, Hayden, jayden, tayden, kayden, rayden, shayden, cayden, pretty much the whole alphabet ending in den. And yes I met every single one of these
A girl in highschool whose name was Nazanine went by Nazi (Nah zee). Like, why? Your name was beautiful.
The guiness book of records had an entry for the worst spelling in the old days before the book was dumbed down. Trying to spell 'usage' the incorrect attempt was youzitch achieving only one correct letter.
Does using French count? Then I nominate "eau". Impressive 300% bloat, 0 correct letters.
I present to you the plural : eaux 400% bloat still 0correct letters
There's a girl in my kid's class named Eighmee. Pronounced "Amy". I thought it was weird but there's a street in a neighboring town named Eighmee Street.
"Shithead"
Pronounced: shi-THEED
Spelled: Shit Head
How can it be legal to literally name your kid an insult? Child protection gotta intervene.
“It’s pronounced “Weener-Slave.””
A kid whose name is said "Akelah" phonetically, but is spelled "Akleah".
I once met a girl called "Xinhergi" (Synergy).
I once met a girl called Xinhergi
Who thrived on late-night energy.
She’d moan and she’d grind,
With a very keen mind
For positions defying liturgy.
