There's a little story behind every baby name. You could pass down on a family name, or name your kid a fruit like "Apple." Or you could just add a bunch of extra letters.
There's a growing trend in America where people make names more convoluted and longer than necessary. Braiden become Braiydin. Aaron become Airynn. Michaela transforms into Makayla, Mickayla, Makeighla, and McKayla.
This trend is attributed to mommy bloggers, prep school graduates, and "basic" parents. I'm sure you're probably familiar with the chalkboard images below from blogger McKinli Hatch, which have been a running joke on the internet for a while.

The names aren't inherently bad or wrong, maybe just a little excessive, and a little white. These names sing the "BUM, BUM, BUM" in Sweet Caroline. These names ask for the manager at Starbucks when their Frappuccino isn't blended enough. You get the picture.
So Twitter user vib_ola asked — how would yourname be spelled if your parents decided to write it like a Pottery Barn embroidered pillow? Most of the responses are clear exaggerations, but you would be surprised how many different ways people have spelled even my own name, Sage. I've gotten Sidge, Siege, Sig, Sans, and Sayegh from my Starbucks cup alone.

At least McKinli Hatch, the original mom behind the baby name chalkboard meme, has taken the jokes in stride. Just goes to show that everyone should be able to embrace their name. Own it! Love it! I mean, at least your dad didn't want to name you Aryann.
