Ok good so I'm not being hideously teeny am I?  :-[ LOl Not like it's practical to change a characters name over one and a half stories now.

If Alyssa is hideously teeny, then Ashleigh is too because it's just as common (at least in my area)

agreed. which is why Kelly is still the lead in Welcome To My Heart.


and I've seen Kelly spelled Kellee before, but I'd have to say the teeny version is probably either Kelli or Kellie?

When I was a child (okay.. and maybe still now..) I was really jealous of my sister because her name was spelled all mary sueish (Lyndsi) and I got plain old boring Stephanie.  Why couldn't I be Stefani? lol

LOl I don't like Lyndsi with an I. It just looks strange. LOl My sister spells her name the same way though Steph.

A month or two ago I had a Moises but his name wasn't Moys-is like you'd expect, but Mo-ee-sis. I screwed that up ALL day long  ???

Very true... Ashleigh is the teenyfied spelling of Ashley. But Ashleigh IS a teeny so I guess it makes sense lol  :P

I LOVE the new spelling of Stephanie LOL

oh god.   my big sister almost named her baby Kimberleigh.

It was going to be after my parents. Jeffrey Kim and Stacey Leigh... But we all had an intervention and talked her out if it!

LOL!  Well, at least there was a reason behind the teeny spelling there, not just because it looked kewl.  But yeah... what a nightmare for the kid to have to learn how to write her name LOL.

I would think Nik - ki- a. Almost wanted to say Nik-kia but experience has taught me better lol. LMAO when you say it fast it almost sounds like Nick Carter in like a weird accent  :D Yes... Bear with me lol I'm having one of those days, so I'm punchy!

I had a Nakiocha when I student taught. Bets on how to prounounce that?

See you can't do much with Rose, but my last name isn't spelt the way it's pronounced as smiley, so I always had teachers have issues with my name.

I did know a boy at one point who's name was Justin Time. I felt so bad for the kid lmao.
