Re: A few unusual BAs
in reply to a message by Sugar
I think Banjamin is probably just a misprint for Benjamin.I don't think that anyone in the USA will find Katelynn, Abbigail, LeAnn, or Dewaine to be "very strange", even if they dislike the alternative spellings of Caitlin, Abigail, Leanne, and Dewayne. Dontay is a respelling of Dante which is fairly common in the African-American community. And Kenyon also would not be thought odd by most Americans, though unfortunately probably the most famous person named Kenyon was Kenyon Clutter, who is known for being one of the family murdered in the real-life incident that became the basis for the famous book and film In Cold Blood.
