Spelling ?
Well it looks like we have decided on a boys name finally. Ok I've liked it
for awhile but DH has come around now since he chose the middle name But my question to you all is about the spelling.... I am not sure how I want to spell it: Griffin Griffen Griffon Gryphon Griphon Griphin Gryphen Ok so some of them are silly but what do you think?! --?

I like, in this order: Gryphon Griffen Griffon You might look the various spellings up and see if there's anything in their origins that might help in deciding! -- Emily mom to Toby 5/1/02 #2 EDD 7/19/04 |

Personally I really like and prefer the top three. I guess if you're going for unique than the last four are fine as well. Just depends upon your tastes I suppose.

Griffin.
All the rest just look incorrectly spelled to me. Well, except Gryphon, but that is a mythical creature. -- Jamie & Taylor Earth Angel, 1/3/03 Check out Taylor Marlys -- www.MyFamily.com, User ID: Clark_guest, Password: Guest1 Become a member for free - go to Add Member to set up your own User ID and Password Handmade Baby Blankets -- www.geocities.com/digit_the_cat/Blankets.html "Fer" wrote in message news:r7M%b.612451$JQ1.127504@pd7tw1no...

I honestly have some experience with this name My own personal, humble opinion is the better spellings for names are Griffin or Griffen- I actually prefer Griffin. The last ones on the list make me think of medieval creatures and mythology, not that that's a bad thing. Just my opinion. |

I think you should go with Griffin, that way people aren't going to always
misspell it. "Fer" wrote in message news:r7M%b.612451$JQ1.127504@pd7tw1no... Well it looks like we have decided on a boys name finally.

I am not sure how I want to spell it: I like Griffin and Gryphon (probably because those are "real" spellings). Griffin will probably be the least misspelled version. There is a Griffin in my LLL group :-) I think it is a nice name (he is a spitfire!). -- Em mama to L-baby, 5 months old |
