People. Please read the rules before posting comments. “5. Be as kind as possible. Consider that children may be reading the comments about their own names.“ It’s a fine spelling! It’s phonetic and it’s not unfamiliar, so it’s not unwieldy at all. Frankly it seems to me roughly by chance that this wasn’t the traditional way to anglicize Aodhán. I think it’s a nice, handsome name.
What's the point of taking an already existing common name and spelling it differently? Just to prove that you're quirky and original while being too dumb to be quirky and original? All it's ever gonna do is make your kid spell out their name each time someone has to write or type it down. Each and every time. And their birth certificate looks like it has a typo in it because both you and the midwife were too dumb to notice it.
