Baby Names You Couldn't Misspell If You Tried

As someone with a unique name, having to constantly spell out my name for people is one of my least favorite things about my moniker (and seeing people try and fail is almost as disheartening). What I wouldn't give for a name that only had one spelling variation or was completely phonetic and easy to get from brain to paper in one go.

If you're looking for a baby name that's all but guaranteed to be spelled right every time, we've compiled a list of names — both classic and modern — for you to choose from. We can't promise they'll get it right next time you're at Starbucks, but for everyone else, these names are virtually impossible to misspell (that said, someone will always find a way).
