The spelling



Oh boy! Major parental issue blog time. Katy is her name....no doubt, thats it, ship the birth certificate on that one except for onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnne little thing.....the spelling. Lindy has been pro K A T Y this whole time and im in the K A T I E camp.

Lindy has a couple good arguments.
1) the middle name is marie so she thinks it looks better with a Y on the first name so its not IE name IE name and i kinda agree but am meh on the point overall.
2) Katy/ie's name is katy/ie not Katelynn. This i do agree with big time. If her name is spelled Katy on like roll sheets and formal documents then it should be fairly obvious her name is Katy and not Katelynn. 

I counter with
1) No! I like the way Katie looks better and so does a majority of the population, hence why you can find fridge magnets and such with Katie on them much more often than you see them with Katy on them.
2) Well thats really all i got.

I think we are going to settle on Katy because thats what weve been typing it as, Lindy likes it better and if Lindy aint happy nobody is happy, and it will be easy to let Katy know she can spell it however she likes it. I have a friend whose birth certificate name is Tyson, she went by Tye and throughout high school spelled it Tye, Tie, Ty, etc.

I hope we choose the right way to make katy as normal as possible but if not.......add more money to our monthly "we messed up and now were paying for it via therapist" account for Katy/ie
