Re: What are your favorite "kre8tive" spellings?
in reply to a message by Rainya
I have to really think about this:
Merriam > Mariam (which I instinctively pronounce MAHR-yahm); though I'd more likely use Miriam, anyway
Ellavieve > Ælfgifu (which is archaic, anyway)
Sylvana > Silvana
Willemina > Wilhelmina
Brienne > Brianne / Brianna
Normally, though, this isn't my bag.

Oh, true, Willamina is sooooo much better than Wilhelmina.
They both bug me. Maybe Wilhemina? As my own favorite? Lol
Yeah, the name isn't very good to begin with, but ANYTHING is better than ugly Wilhelmina.
