in reply to a message by Miranda
Imo, you can change the spellings to the orignals of Hayley and Kelsey; you'll still honour your family members, since the names are exactly the same except for the spelling.
Not exactly, b/c Haleigh would be named after Leigh and Kelsie would be named after Elsie.

I think she meant...
... that it's the sound that matters. You say a name more than you see a name so I think that's what Miranda was getting at. You can still name Kelsey after Elsie and Hayley after Leigh because it's the person's *name* or *identity* that you're doing the naming after... not the spelling.
But personally, I think you should just go for whatever spellings you like best. :)

p.s. We'd like to name a daughter's fn or mn after hubby's mother, Clare, but neither of us like the spelling. We'd opt for Claire or even Clara, but it's still considered 'naming her after Clare'. :)
