Spelling of baby name

So my DH just asked me last night how I wanted to spell our DD name. I guess I didnt think there was another way to spell it. He pointed out that it could be spelled with an "er" or an "or" We had wanted a diffrent name in the begining but desided on this one because we both liked it. It is getting way more common, so maybe we should spell it diffrently than the norm. What do you ladies think???

Taylah is very cool! It's a middle name we're considering for Zoe (errrr- or I should say Daddy is considering since he gets to choose her middle name). But we got the name from Stargate Atlantis. I know, we're nerds.

Anyway, I like Taylar. It's more feminine and different!

My daughter's name is Elaina and I always have to spell it. My other daughter's name is Abigail and I still have to spell it, too. Most people just automatically ask how to spell it. But Miss Elaina gets gifts from one aunt who always spells her name "Elena". Eh, it happens, no matter what their name is. So go with whatever you love!

I wholeheartedly agree with amy0013, I voted for the tradional Taylor Marie. I named my son Jaxson.. And EVERYONE spells it Jackson.. .It's annoying and sometimes I wish I had just spelled it the tradional way, it would have avoided a lot of confusion.

Being a teacher, I can tell you it's traditionally spelled Taylor.  I think any of your variations are OK...but like someone said...if you don't spell it Taylor she will be correcting people her whole life on how to spell her name.  That's no fun!

I like Tayler, but you are defintily going to run into issues with her name being mispelled alot.  My daughter's name is Mikayla and I know I will run into that.  My name is Kristin and I am constantly getting it spelled wrong - Kristen, Christian, Christen, the list goes on!  But I think that Taylar would maybe have people thinking that the pronounciation is different, you know?  So I would say Taylor or Tayler.

I agree with Chantal. I love the spelling of Tayler! =] So cute, and different! =] But once again, its what ever you feel comfortable writing and are use to. =] Also wanted to say I love the middle name. =] That is what we are naming my daughter for her middle name...Well its Tyler-Marie, but hey all works the same...So Taylor (Tayler) Marie is gorgeous!

lol...if you are used to Taylor...then I would stick with it. I know once I was used to a spelling or a name...I didn't want to change it. I think either way is nice though.
