Karalyn isn't common enough for me to have an idea in mind of how to spell it, so no.

It's the Kathrynne/Muhree/Brayndyn/Mykl shit that makes me nuts. A common name is a common name!!! Just let it be common! Spelling it all crazy does not make it unique!

My friend spells her daughter's name Alexzeyah.
