Re: Helpful opinions on my choices please!
Firstly, its your child so you name him/her whatever you like. You asked for opinions though so...Is Zachary a bad name? No. It's a lovely, solid name. Is Xakery? Yes it just looks, to be honest, like a 13 year old having a baby and naming the child. To me it is just hideous. I'm sorry. However, the nXame spoken is nice, the shock horror only comes when seeing it written down. However, think 20 years down the line and CV's, studies show that names can effect people getting a job. Is an employer more likely to employ a Zachary than a Xakery? YesXoelle is not quite as bad, it looks more passible, though Zoelle is still much better and a really nice name. I don't like Aliyah. If you really love the spellings, go for them, but I think honestly, you need to expect that yourself, and you child, will get some negative reactions. ~ Always end the name of your child with a vowel, so that when you yell the name will carry ~

This!I hardly ever see anyone mention the CV/Resume part of the equation. However, having been in on hirings, while it is not the most important thing there are connotations from names...And I mean the difference in Violet and Violyt, not Mable and Emma (unusualness & popularity). Is it fair? No. However, it is an unfortunate truth.Plus, everyone I've met with a creative spelling always is bemoaning having documents that were done incorrectly, always correcting people.
