I've got 2 names each...but NOBODY likes either!

I have always wanted my kids to have weird, yet kinda cool names. I have no clue what I am having, but I have always had a 2 boys names and 2 girls names. I have always wanted a girl, but her name one of the names is always changing. My boys have had the same 2 since high school.
The front runner for the girl is Jhonny Vyctorea (that's Johnnie Victoria). That was my Big Momma's name and it has just stuck since I was a child. It's cool and unique for a baby born in 2010, well at least I think so. The 2cd one came to me in the shower, Kaitiya Nechol. It just sounds nice on the tongue.
For my lil prince I have always wanted a strong name so I chose Kal-El Mykiel (that's Michael). I wanted that name BEFORE Nicholas Cage choose it. I think that we should have used that instead of "Superman". What a cool name for a superhero. The next one is just a classic and my mommy like it, Krystofer Jordyn (that's Krystofer). The Jordyn is a tribute to my Mommy who passed 11yrs ago when I was 19.
Not a one person in my family likes any of those names. I love all 4 of them!! My friends are just so happy that I finally I am with child that they are giving me names! A few are cool but not as cool as the ones that I have chosen.

What do you guys think?!

Re: I've got 2 names each...but NOBODY likes either!

I think the names are nice in and of themselves, the spellings may be what's throwing people off.

Re: I've got 2 names each...but NOBODY likes either!

I completely agree -- your spellings are tortuous. Do you have a good reason behind your spelling? If you have a reason (ex. "You were conceived on Myrtle Beach so we decided to spell your name Mykiel instead of Michael) then OK.

But I don't think there is anything unique about taking a very common name (like Johnny, Victoria, Nicole, Michael or Christopher) and simply spelling it differently for the sake of being different.

While I've seen Jhonny before, and know that Kristoph is a european spelling, the way you have them listed is just too much. But I like the names and your combinations.

TO be brutally honest, I don't think you are being unique. It's being annoying. Sorry.

Re: I've got 2 names each...but NOBODY likes either!

Well First the names are not werid just the spelling
Johnnie Victoria is ok if spelled like that
the other way makes it look like you don't know how to spell the names

Re: I've got 2 names each...but NOBODY likes either!

My son that passed away was named Kristofer Blane which is a swedish spelling of Christopher

Re: I've got 2 names each...but NOBODY likes either!

Spell them correctly and then they'll be nice names.

What I should have said is that I like weird names, but I wouldn't do that so I was given them weird spellings.
Weird is Altoevise, Yrenia, Yaryee, Simonay, Bryn. I like the look of weird spelling. I never once said Unique in the whole post...I actually say that these names belong to other people or that it was a name that I or somebody else liked. There is no such thing as a unique name unless U make one up and I am not that creative. And actually nobody has seen them written, just me say them. This post is the first time I have written them out.
I appreciate you responding, but to be return the brutal honesty, do U go around spelling your name or just saying it?
I am however glad that you like the names.
Thanks!

Re: I've got 2 names each...but NOBODY likes either!

Other people will also have to try to spell these names, and as they are audibly very common names, not weird, just spelled weird, this will happen a lot. Their names reflect on you, keep that in mind, that's not always interesting in the positive way.

Yeah you did.

I have to agree with most people here. The normal spelling of Johnnie Victoria is much better than the other way. And still just as unusual. I actually like that name when spelled normally. Otherwise, it looks like you're trying too hard to be trendy.
I think the boys name Krystofer Jordyn is fine, but you are definitley going to have many spelling problems by others, and you will constantly have to be telling people how to spell it. May get annoying. But the name itself is nice. Maybe Kristopher Jordan?

Firstly, I didn't realise Johnnie was a girl's name?
Secondly, what is a "Big Momma"?
Now, the spellings ... I am all for very unusual names, but following the trend of "yooneek" names is not unusual, nor individual. The names will always be spelled wrong, and I'm sorry to say that people will judge you. When encountered with a name spelt with myriad y's replacing other vowels etc., people tend to think "ah, the mother isn't very bright, and thinks that makes the name pretty".
The names, especially Victoria, which I adore, are very lovely spelt in the traditional way.
I don't mean this offensively, I am just offering advice.
