Hahaha wow, well said! I think a lot of these "creeyative" spellings are just an exercise in narcissism on the part of the parents, wanting their kids to have unique names that stand out. It's silly. Just name your kid something normal ffs. And naming them things that aren't even a name - why in the name of all that's holy would anyone think that's okay to do to a child? Why the fuck would you name your kid Apple, or Blue, or Poet, or some other stupid non-name? It's perfectly okay to name your kid Sarah or Jonathan or Andrew or Jessica.

Agreed. You want to call your kid Blue? Fine. Name it Ann and call it "Blue" as a nickname; give her a fucking "out" for when she gets older. Our older daughter's name is unusual (but again, still a real name, a common one in Scandinavian countries which you do occasionally hear in the US as well), but we gave her a "normal" middle name so if she wanted to use it when she got older, she can. Luckily she loves her name, but she still always has the option to be Normal Name if she wants. Our younger daughter has a much more common first name but an unusual middle name (still, still a real name). Giving your kid a weirdo name doesn't make them "stand out," it just makes them seem like a kid with pretentious parents.
