A friend just posted about attending a baby shower for baby Aspyn.
The dad has a normal name spelled in a crazy way so I guess it runs in families…

It’s more phonetic; we don’t say the O in Jackson/Allison/Emerson but it sounds more like a short I sound like in pin or kin.
So Alysyn, Jacksyn it comes to be but is also thought to be kreeightyve and youneek.

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.

My niece Mico tried it and it didn't work any better for her than it did for the aforementioned Jello.

Oh no, people don’t name their kids as you would!
Luckily, this post just stopped all the about-to-birth moms who were planning to give their children such names from doing so.
Congratulations, this post has done good in this world. Whew. Thank you for your service.
