Dammit I'm trying really hard to think of another one but I think you got them all.

Toni (though spelling Toni as a male name is probably not typical)

I did that too, and there is a major one that you guys missed (Alex-A) but that's not it.

Everyone spells my name wrong, it's annoying.

You're right. That usually is short for Alexander, although it is rarely some people's full name.

Now that a lot of my friends are having kids, it's funny to see the naming patterns. The people with super typical names with only one common spelling are giving unusual names or names spelled differently, whereas people who have names that can be spelled in lots of different ways are naming their kids something that could only reasonably be spelled one way.

As someone with a name that can be spelled easily half a dozen different ways, I sure as gently caress am not burdening my kids with having their name spelled wrong on official documents half their lives.

But I can understand someone who had a typical name that they were always one of many that they want to give something unusual or unique.
