Re: Four letter names becoming three letter names
in reply to a message by NobodyOfConsequence
I haven't noticed it necessarily, but I prefer it to adding superfluous letters.
I am a fan of simplifying. It still bothers me that I used two 's's in my daughter's name. But I went for legit over simple.
If it came down to it, correct spellings should win. However, I do appreciate Ana, Ines, and Jonathan etc... over Anna, Innes, Johnathan, etc.

Completely agree, I'd rather people eliminate a double letter like in Ella or Hannah than add random letters that don't make sense.
I also prefer the simpler spelling, but also tend towards the most classical spelling, Sarah instead of Sara for example. I don't really care so long as it's legit.
I've not really noticed this trend, I've seen Axl before, but I think the parents legitimately thought that was how it was spelled, you know, like Axl Rose.
