With that spelling I feel two things; mostly that its pointless and will subject the kid to a lifelong "how to you spell that?". However, I also that it seems to be pushing a certain pronunciation. In England, we pronounce the "h" like HON-iss-tee (or if your common as muck like I am, it'd be ON-iss-teh) but Aunestie seems to force you to pronounce it a very American "AWN-iss-tee". So I can see why it might be used that way, to force a pronunciation

Still, it seems pointless.

I can't seem to find much on it, myself. Is it an alternate spelling or does it originate from a different source?
