Names spelt strange ways

I like that names can have SOME variation, especially common names. It helps me distinguish between different people. Also, it can lead to nicknames. One of my best friends at work is named Kelley, but at the time there was another girl named Kelly. So we called up calling one of them "Kelly" and the other we just call "EY."
it's the idiots that name their kids LJ, TJ, KC and shit like that that bugs me. and there's a woman who comes in my shop who's kid's named LJ and she calls him Elj as in Elle-Jay with the 'ay' part knocked off!
How about Stephenie? (yes, there are people whose name is spelled like that)
I think I'm one of the few that isn't bothered by how people choose to spell their own names - I mean, determining the spelling isn't a problem for me.
Plus, it's a refreshing change to see some brand new names, even though their origin (e.g. kids named after alcoholic drinks like Courvoisier, Chardonnay, Stella, John Smith
) may be amusing. Infinite diversity and all that.

You might not like living in Ireland, then, among the Aiofes and Siobhans and Niamhs....

We named our daughter Bailey but she was NOT named after Bailey's Irish Cream. We fell in love with the name from watching the show WKRP in Cinncinatti.
I have to admit I do get annoyed with some of the new "made up" names that have been popping up. I don't know why i should even give it a moment of thought....but those names do irk me.
My real name is Stacey, spelled the masculine way. I can remember applying for my first library card, and while I was standing there in my pigtails the librarian asked my mother, "Is Stacey a boy or a girl?" Used to use my given name as a screen name, too, until I realized someone I was talking to thought I was a guy... he wasn't nearly as interested in me when I "came out". 
Unique names and spellings don't bother me unless it makes the name unpronounceable. I have cousins Brielle and LaTasia (as well as Kennedy and Shriver) and a niece Caitlynn (named after her parents' friend's D&D character). For my own future kids, I favor Irish names like Aiofe... which I've also seen spelled Aoefe... does that change the pronunciation?

Sara is the normal spelling of the name in Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, etc.
With both meaning Princess
Are they both pronunced the same way? I'm familiar with the pronuciation of Sarah both on TV and people I've known but I've never heard Sara prononced (Mia Sara is the only one I can think of with the name and according to wiki Sara is short of a much longer Italian name).
In the case of Mia Sara, it's just a shortening of her Italian last name, which I don't think has anything to do with the name Sara.
This changes everything.
