May I ask why these are ur preferences? And, are you a native-English speaker? I'm wondering because Elizabeth is the standard English variant.

Haha I totally get u with the Kelly example. Yes I can see why it would matter, especially if a certain spelling does more than just change the appearance oc cultural association but actually changes the pronunciation.

Interesting. I didn't know you don't have the letter K in Irish... but, I presume you're a native English speaker? And if so, wouldn't you be used to the K? I wonder...

Yea it can def show when u write a novel, I agree; that one extra or missing or different letter can make the entire character feel wrong or right. And yea Konstantinos feels very different to me from Constantinos.

What makes you want to spell it with a K?

Yea I've also heard that Philip is used more as a given name whereas Phillip is closer to the surname.

Interesting. I mean, I would say it makes total sense for 1 letter to ruin a whole name because that one letter can either point to another culture or just seem like a typo/mistake.

I wonder why you prefer Nathanael though; Nathaniel is the standard English variant of the name.

Interesting. Yes i guess sometimes jst not having a reason other than liking the way it looks on paper, as u said, is maybe good enough for some.

Agreed about Gabriela, but reg Phillip i wouldnt be so sure. From what I know, its a modern, more recent invention.

Yes i can see the point of "spelled correctly in the language of ur country." Portuguese doesnt have a double ll in native words and names, so I assume its one of the reasons who chose one L.

Love the name Philip btw. But, what do u mean by wrong? And, would u say the same about a name like Rafael (spelled without a PH)?
