[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My family, who all lives in the very rural Midwest, does this a lot with their kids. “Jaxson” and the like also common. I wouldn’t do it, but whatever. I also wouldn’t name my kid His Father’s Name III.

Just about preferences and norms in one’s community. [/quote]

I do a lot of historical Central European vital records (18th and 19th century) research. X and KS are swapped all the time as they are the same sound. Either were acceptable. People need to pull the sticks out of their rear ends.[/quote]

:D 
That's not what's going on here. Either cre8tivity or one of those families who have to slap a bow on their bald baby girl's head, because <gasp> people might think she's a boy.

So what if it’s creative? We are not one of those European countries that only parents to choose from a government approved list of by and girl names with specific spellings. Creative spelling is natural. This thread is full of Karens if ever there was one. (Apologies to anyone named Karen.)[/quote]

I can attest. I am Gertrude about extra cre8tive names. When every vowel is replaced, I'm not sure what's the point except that you want you kid to spend a lot of time on a spiel about how their name is really pronounced.
And Jackson had better be ready to defend his -sen.
