Those spellings sound so trashy.

I don't get it. Are you sure it wasn't a typo? That X is so random.

Yikes! Izabellah is heinous enough, but there is absolutely NO reason for the x in Sawyxr. Are people attempting to change the pronunciation of letters now? Good luck with that!

That HAS to be a typo! I mean... in what universe does YXR sound like "yer"?

I would have thought so too, but not a chance. The grandma of the little girl was there and someone commented on the uniqueness of it and wanted to confirm the pronunciation.

Just how? What is their logic?

Terrible. Sawyer is a name I like but when you add the X it doesn't even look like it's pronounced Sawyer. Sawyxr looks like the name of a futuristic robot, not a girl.Izabellah is probably the worst trendy Isabella spelling I've ever heard.

Actually, I did see it once several years ago. The baby's name was Kennahdee Izabellah. Guess the parents really liked the 'ah' sound written out, huh?

Maybe that's the idea - to take something familiar and transform it into the mysterious, the unexpected, the X-factor.Poor child. She'll have a busy life, spelling, correcting, spelling again.

Okay...to me it's sa-WYX-rr, but that's just me...I guess...
Izabellah is pretty bad, too, but at least you can pronounce it.

But HOW...? I hate when people just add a random letter and think it works. The Izabellah spelling of Isabella looks like her parents actually had to sound out her middle name.
