Re: Alternate spelling?

Lol Kymbirlee xD
Maybe changing the spelling in this case might make the name easier to pronounce? If I saw Dashiell I'd guess it was DASH-ee-el or maybe da-SHY-el.
Dashal or Dashel I'd say DASH-al or DASH-el.
BQ: I'd always use Anglicized spellings of Irish names (cos I'm not Irish) but other than that I think I mostly like the original spelling of a name. Or a variant so common that I'm not sure which is the original!!
I'm not counting names that are pronounced differently though. I love French Emilie way more than Emily but they're said different.
