Kidding aren't you?

We've had Rodderick, Rodrick, Roddick.. all sorts of variations!

I think some people are just thick and/or don't think.. or read the cards etc we have sent them with his name in!

Good grief - Clearly there is something going wrong with spelling lessons in schools! Or maybe there aren't spelling lessons any more?!?!

Haven't read the whole thread, but my lil boys sunday name is Zacharias William *******
We call him Zach for short, but that is so so often spelt wrong! Zac, Zak, Zack
NO - Its short for ZACHarias, so the shortened spelling is Zach! lol

I must admist I thought about how his name would sound if he was ever ;
a - politician
b - tv presenter
c - respected peer in his field
d - at school! how many of that name would be in his class!?

etc etc, and to me, Zacharias William covered all the bases

I would imagine by the time he is old enough, it will all seem perfectly normal.

Good choice - no problem with spelling there!!

My name is Fern, and the sheer amount of people that can't spell it right is amazing! I have had cards addressed to Ferne, Fearne, Farn, Ferm, Ferme, Vern, Vearne and Fem. When I order a taxi, or say my name on the phone people often mistake my name for Fay or Sam which always baffles me. Generally none of this bothers me though, just makes me giggle a bit.

Why don't you get many Michaels these days - it's a great name with a choice of abbreviations.

I have a Michael!:D

He's almost 12 now and it was only last year that another Michael joined his school!

The first time I met the Health Visitor after he was born she said "Michael?! That's a strange name for a baby!!":mad:

gravity - as far as i know i made this one up but think it's a really soild but creative boy's name
phoenix
felix (although problem with the cat food)
caspian (had links to OH who was born near caspian sea)

a lot depends on the surname though. you want one that works well with the other.

Have a look at your family tree and see if there are name you like. They come into and out of fashion so whats unusual one year is common the next. Also its influenced my media. I think its nice to pick a name that has an family tie to it. After all your introducing someone new to your family

I worked in a place and my boss said he would call me Clarke as I looked like a Clarke. I said you can if you like !!!!!!.

At least it's a proper name. I swear so many names sound made up these days.
