Leigh is perfectly acceptable. <br /><br />It's taking normal names and substituting odd vowels to try and get the same result that drives me nuts. <br /><br />For example:<br /><br />Leigh --> LeyghChristiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16120883583219857456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20459118.post-8556715419540322322009-12-14T19:32:09.009-08:002009-12-14T19:32:09.009-08:00Ashleigh is traditional

And the spelling for my name? It's the traditional female spelling... Ashley is, or used to be, a boys name. They did give us regular middle names (Jennifer, Josh, Alex) in case we wanted to use those, which was thoughtful of them. <br /><br />So, having a now-common name with a different spelling is sometimes a little annoying, mostly for people who have to re-write my name when they're taking it down, but in the grand scheme of things I don't care how you spell it. Just don't call me Leslie.Dr. Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09837656394352216372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20459118.post-8314000023252230582009-12-12T17:13:13.242-08:002009-12-12T17:13:13.242-08:00I knew a Meghann (too) pronounced the same as my n...I knew a Meghann (too) pronounced the same as my name. While these spellings drive me bonkers, the fact that her name was spelled insanely did make it easier when there were three of us "megans" working at the same Target store.

I blame pregnancy hormones, but I briefly talked to Nick about a diff. spelling for a common name, to be "different".
