Re: This or that(Spellings)
in reply to a message by KK
Catherine or Katherine - Katharine is actually my favorite, followed by Catherine.Liliana or Lilyana - Liliana.Madeline or Madelyn - Madeleine, though Madeline between these two. Madelyn looks like an American bastardization.John or Jon - John is the only acceptable spelling as a given name. Jon as a nickname for Jonathan.Vivian or Vivienne - Either, though probably Vivian. (Vivien is my favorite here.)Sophia or Sofia - Either, though probably Sophia, depending on cultural background.Julia or Giulia - Julia, definitely.Briana or Brianna - Brianna, though I don't care for either.Elliott or Eliot - Split the difference with Elliot.Brian or Bryan - Either, though I dislike this name intensely.Elizabeth or Elisabeth - Either, though Elizabeth.Ann or Anne - Definitely Anne.Calliope or Kalliope - Calliope is much more aesthetically pleasing, I think. (It was also the first spelling I encountered, actually - I'm pretty sure Calliope predated Kalliope on this website.)
