HelpWhat is your favorite variant spelling of each of these names?
Replies
I dislike Caden, Caitlin, Carly, Jayden, Kaylee and Riley, regardless of spelling.
I like the spelling of Aaliyah, Brittany, Emily and Madeline (family name with this spelling). As names, I like Emily and Madeline.

I was today years old when I found out Hailey and Jeffrey were not the original spellings!
Aleah - concise, pretty, straightforward.
Britney - same reason
Kayden because I like the look of Ays in names over Ays. I also like Ks.
Kaitlin because its almost identical and the K is cute.
Carleah because its different. I'm not sure why but I don't like the look of Karly.
Emilea maybe, because its different?
Jaiden. An important person in my life has this name. And to reiterate, I prefer Ays and Ais to just As or Aes.
Kaylie is cute.
...This one is harder. Maddeline?
Ryley perhaps. For both genders. :)

I love the creativity! I also think Kaylie is cute. :)
1. The only other acceptable variants in my opinion are Aliyah or Aleah.
2. I'd stick with Brittany. The only other I can think of is Brittney, which is okay.
3. Caden is my preference.
4. Katelyn
5. Carly is preferred.
6. Emily is the only spelling I like.
7. I'd probably stick to Jayden or Jaden. Jaiden looks okay, it's just not as instinctual.
8. Kailey
9. Depends on the pronunciation. I'd use different spellings to make it more clear. I think Madeleine should have a long i sound and Madelyn should have the short i sound.
10. Riley, though I think Rylie or Rylee are okay on girls.

Pretty much all of those, apart from #4, #8 & #9
#4 Katelyn or at least Kaitlyn. I much prefer the 'K' here.
#8 Kailey
#9 Madeleine (although I absolutely don't mind Madeline)
Might also prefer Jaden instead of Jayden, but just so beyond sick of the name and it's previous trend, that I don't even care.

I think I used to prefer the "K", but now I think the "C" gives the name a sweeter vibe.
Huh, I've never heard Kaylee and Kylie pronounced the same way before.
1. Alia

5. Karly
6. Emilie
7. Jaiden

Oh, wow, I've never seen Madlen before!
Doesn't surprise me now, it's a typically East German spelling from the Ex-GDR.
I agree with you about the pronunciation! I also think Madeleine should only have a long I.
