Our wood floors are a tad darker than this, but we paired them with Behr's "Silver Drop" and "Dolphin Fin". Love it.

A misspelled name is nothing but a hassle. I'm a girl with a pretty common name whose parents chose to spell it incorrectly. I have to spell my name out everywhere I go, correct files, reorder credit cards, have awkward conversations correcting people for the third time, etc.

Given the choice, I'd much prefer to have an unconventional or less common name than a popular one with a different spelling to make it "unique". My different spelling didn't "save" my name from being so common: There was another person with the same first and last name in my high school. Even though she was a grade above me and our names and middle initials were different, we still had our report cards and classes mixed up all the time.

I never felt unique because of my misspelled name... in fact, since some people don't bother/care enough to spell names in any way other then they're used to, the misspelling of my name can make me feel unimportant at times. And the worst part? I was always one letter off from getting a cool personalized license plate for my awesome hot pink bike. Sad.
