My personal pet peeve is when parents take a popular name and add their own little twist to the spelling like Paxtyn, Trystan, Aleczander, Jaxxon, etc. I mean if you want to name your boy James then name him James not Jaymes. It's just tacky and means your kid will have to put up with his/her name being misspelled on documents most of their lives.
We were at the park and there were two Jacksons and one of the mothers says "we wanted to name our son Jackson but knew it was becoming popular so we changed the spelling to differentiate him to Jaxxon". I said to her "but you still pronounce it Jackson right?" She says "of course". I guess I just don't understand the mentality here.
