I hate it, it's so unnecessary and makes it so difficult for the child. I work at a school and so many kids over the years wish they had the correct spelling, they hate having to spell their name out and correct people on the spelling and some creative spelling makes pronounciation problems too

yeah, that must really suck to have to spell out your name to everyone for your entire life. My great grandmother was named May , but changed it to Mae as an adult because everyone spelled it that wrong. I can't imagine what it would be like for someone with a more complicated name.

It's not that big a deal unless it's wrong on a goverment document, and for government documents, it's just like having an unsual surname instead of something obvious like Smith (who cares?). I'm in my 30s, and some family members still spell my name wrong on cards. I don't correct people. I think the ambiguity's a little funny.
