what's wrong with Emory? It is a fine school in Atlanta, and a fine last name as well as a find male or female name. I don't see the problem. Seems like all the suggestions will only cloudy the waters.

Another vote for Emory, or maybe Emerie. It's a pretty name and there's not need to muck it up with a funny spelling.

I get when a kid ends up being different than their name and you nickname her. If having a nickname completely unrelated (like my sons nickname is bear). But to shorten (from birth) the name you gave them? Why not just name them that?

I know lots of people who go by shortened versions of their given name. I actually think that those types of nicknames are very common.
Nicknames like Bear, Scooter, Peaches, etc. are sometimes used as nicknames, too, of course. But it's way less common for a person to actually go by those types of nicknames. |

I believe that there are many university studies that prove an inverse relationship between parents that name kids silly names and intelligence.

I went through what I call a rough childhood. Kids did pick on me when I was in school. My given name was one of those reasons. Kids don't seem to be much nicer today. It's either gotten worse, or there's more media attention, or both.

I met a 4 year old girl today named "Kynzi". That is not a nickname. That is her legal name. Her mom introduced her and then spelled it for me. Not only that, but she went into a story about how she really wanted the legal spelling to have a heart over the i. Really? You want to make it more complicated?
Btw... To all of the parents out there giving crazy spellings to their names, you are also making it harder on everyone else. I have a VERY common and VERY simple name. I still have to spell it for people because "I didn't know if it was spelled in some crazy way".
Please stop.

I wonder if too many parents read Charlotte's Web to "go there." Templeton was the name of the rat.

They could name him after the guy from the A-team, Templeton Peck aka Face.
I've had some people try to spell my name with a k instead of a c. |
