Help[Facts] Re: My column on the top USA names of 2021 (#1's are Liam and Sophia)
in reply to a message by clevelandkentevans
I don't like the combined spelling lists for many reasons.
1. To me Allison and Alison or Lilly and Lily aren't really the same name. Yes, they sound the same, but give me totally different vibes and images.
2. They always combine names that I (and I would guess most people) wouldn't pronounce the same so they are not accurate. Such as Mya and Mia. Or Myla and Mila.
I much prefer the non-combined lists and it always annoys me that the German one combines spellings because they add names together that hardly anyone in Germany says the same way such as Emily and Emilie (but Emely is counted separately?) and so on.
