Here are common names; spiced up. I've included different spellings of names that I quite like and that are unique.

Emalee
- Description:
  Emalee is a contemporary feminine name that represents a creative spelling variation of Emily or Emilee. The traditional Emily derives from the Latin "Aemilia," a Roman family name possibly meaning "rival" or "eager." This modern spelling emerged primarily in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, reflecting the trend toward distinctive orthography while maintaining familiar pronunciation. Emalee offers parents a way to provide a somewhat unique name while keeping the beloved sound and essence of the classic Emily. The name has a sweet, youthful quality enhanced by the playful spelling. While less common than traditional Emily, Emalee has gained modest popularity in the United States, particularly in southern regions where double names and creative spellings are more culturally embraced.

Kaelyn
- Origin:
  Spelling variation of Kaylin
Kamryn
- Origin:
  Spelling variation of Cameron, Scottish
- Meaning:
  "crooked nose"
- Description:
  As a Top 600 name for girls for more than 20 years, Kamryn has become a widely-accepted version of the original Cameron. It also ranks just below the Top 1000 for boys too, though it is used three times more often on girls.
Kile
- Description:
  Kile is a masculine name that represents a variation of the more common Kyle. Derived from various sources including the Old Irish 'caol' meaning 'narrow, slender' or possibly from a Scottish surname referring to a channel or strait. This distinctive spelling offers a subtle twist on the traditional form while maintaining the same pronunciation. While less frequently used than Kyle, Kile provides a unique alternative that still remains recognizable. The name gained modest usage in the United States during the late 20th century but has remained relatively uncommon, giving it a distinctive quality while still feeling familiar to most people. Those named Kile often appreciate the individualistic spelling of their otherwise recognized name.
