 Topic: Which spelling do you prefer??
Posted: 09 May 2006 at 9:40am |

Hi all,
Hubby and I have found a name for our little girl that we both really like - not totally sure that we'll use it yet - but we are disagreeing on the spelling. I was just wondering what your opinions are on the spelling and why? You could just like the way it looks or be more practical and think it will get misspelt all the time etc! Anyway would love to hear what you think!
Ashlee or Ashleigh???

Personally, I prefer Ashleigh... but that's just me!
I've seen it spelt Ashley before, and my baby name book also has Ashlie as an alternative.

OMG Kelly that name is on our short list too LOL! But it is sitting at about number 3 at the moment so I don think we will use it -but if we were to use it DH likes likes the Ashlee spelling...have decided not to decide on one name before she comes, but have about maybe 3 or 4 names we like and then chose the one we think she looks most like...but I must admit I am already starting to have a favourite name...

Hee hee Frantic - funny if you used Ashlee aswell!! Baalamb is probably going with that too so there would be 3 of us NZWP girls with the same name!!!! Are you going to share your other name with the class???
Ok so Ashleigh is winning so far - which is the spelling I like!!!! - so how do I convince DH

Personally I prefer Ashlee or Ashley... Sometimes it's nice to keep things simple. Often people try to fancy names up by spelling it differently, but the name is still just as nice when spelt more like it sounds.
This is my just opinion based on the fact I have an unusual name that I have always had to spell for people all my life. I have always wished it was more straight forward.

Have a look on a rack of personalised cards/stickers/pens and see what the common spelling is there. I have one of those spell either way names - Maree - and used to alway get annoyed that I could only get Marie stuff. To make it worse my maiden name was impossible to spell so I always had to spell both names out to everyone. Thankfully I married someone with a really simple surname - I didn't realise how good it was until I stopped having to spell things out everytime someone needed to write my name.

The funniest, stupidest thing I have ever been asked was how to spell my maiden name. It wasn't even over the phone, but rather in a face-to-face situation! My maiden name is "King"!!!

Hehe Becca - I used to work with a girl whose surname was Smith and she used to get asked all the time how to spell it!! King is an extra good one though!

no way Kelly! Baalamb too! Actually DH is the one that loves the name the most - sure I will share - after all i know yours now LOL!
Our list is like this:
1. Brenna
2. Mikah (pronouced mee-ka)
3. Ashlee
At the moment I am leaning towards Mikah and DH is leaning towards Brenna...
If we had a boy we had the name all picked out and decided it was going to be Max, girls names we cant settle on...oh well I am sure that between now and then more names will come up too, who knows we may even go with somethign that isnt even on our list yet!

Ooohhh... I really like Sariah - and that's a cool little story behind it for too - cute!
Ah, I think Ashlee and Ashleigh are both really nice names - Ashlee could be a little bit "Ashlee Simpson" sounding - if that helps you sway your hubby (but who knows which way it'd sway him!).

I like Ashlee
Brenna was one of our Bre alternatives, we would call baby Bre but wanted something longer on the birt cert so she could pick when she was older.

Frantic, those names are really cool!! I want to have a couple of names and then decide after she is born but no other name is really standing out at the moment! Oh well, still a while to go I guess....
