HelpRe: When you suddenly start to like trendy spellings...
in reply to a message by Amandine
This is happening to me, but I'm not disliking it, despite being prone to liking traditional spellings better.
The same happened to me regarding Madeline. Madeleine used to be my favorite spelling because of the "e", changed to Madeline because I found it unnecessary, then switched to Madelyn because it looked modern, then to Madelina, then to Madelaine for a little, then back to Madeline and finally stayed with Madeleine. At least I wasn't this indecisive with its nickname, lol - I prefer Madi over Maddie.
And don't get me started with Magdalena, which I consider a parallel name.
I also can relate to Kaitlyn. It's now my favorite spelling after replacing Katelyn and Caitlin.
To be honest, Madilyn is really bad, at least to me. Is the "i" there for pronunciation purposes or is it just ornamental? Either way, it's downright bad. :/
On the other hand, Madelyn is not "trendy", as it actually is a genuine medieval spelling that was rediscovered in the very late 1800s.
The only problem with Kaitlyn is that it has been declining on the chart to the point of almost leaving it alongside Katelyn, and also people now regarding it as a dated spelling. Overall, it's fine, though. However, is this a revival for Kathleen? I hope so!
We all have to agree Katlyn is one of the worst spellings.
I have a fixation for names, so it won't pass for me. Even though trendy spellings don't prevail on my PNLs, they're still enjoyable.
Lastly, here's a list of the ones I like or don't mind:
