Oh jeez...I don't have anything nice to say about this; I'll try to keep it as honest (pun-intended) as I can without being crass 👍🏻. Personally, I feel like if people are going to use a word-name, that they should spell it right.

I think some changes are okay, like Honesti looks a bit more name-y than Honesty. But some of them are just too far!

Juanastie "AH-nes-tee" is the weirdest version I know of. :)Aunesti and Onesti look the nicest to me.Not surprised to see Honesti is used a lot because it's somewhat popular to change Y to I in feminine word names - I think of Harmoni and Stormi (which are both used more than Honesty).

Yikes, that's not even in the SSA data for 2022.True, the change to the letter i isn't bad at all!

Did nobody spell it "Honesty"?? I'm surprised!Onesty is weirdly appealing to me. It feels like that's the way a mostly-illiterate Puritan would spell their name, so that's fun.

Oh, they did! But Honesty isn't a "kre8tive" spelling, haha.
