It's totally normal, and everyone would understand.

My daughter's name is Cassidy, and when I told my grandfather what we named her, he snorted, "You've got to be kidding me? Cassidy? As in Butch?"sigpic

Similarly, there is only one acceptable way to spell Catherine. And Kristen. I wonder if we're on the road to a sea of Jaxons, Jaquesons, Jacksuns, and Giacsuns.At least the Big Ten went after a big-time addition in Nebraska; the Pac-10 wanted a game so badly, it added Utah

Originally posted by ERCougar View PostMy wife's name is Chelsea. I knew how to spell her name from the second I met her. There is no other way to spell it. We've had a president's daughter with the same name. It's not obscure. However, I have yet to ever have someone correctly spell her name on the first guess.

There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock

We had 3 families in our ward name their son Beckham over the past few months. One of the dads is a huge soccer fan and was actually sporting a David Beckham jersey when he told me what they were naming their son. I laughed and asked if he was serious. He didn't appreciate that and went on to tell me how it had nothing to do with is love for soccer and that he and his wife really loved the name.
Yeah right."Take it to the Bank"

I don't have a big problem with any of the others. Of course, we were complete bandwagoners when we named our daughter Emily.
Apology not accepted. I like it, he likes it, and we don't really care if anyone else does so there's really no reason to apologize anyway. I stole it from my much younger (18 years) brother. My father stole it from a developer that he did business with 40 years ago (neither of them anywhere near Utah btw).

I was really hoping not to step on anyone's toes, and therefore probably shouldn't have posted it. It's the Vicodin talking.
FWIW, we named our first son Britton. Fire away.At least the Big Ten went after a big-time addition in Nebraska; the Pac-10 wanted a game so badly, it added Utah
