Phonetic Baby Name Consulting
The naming of your baby is in YOUR hands.
I can make sure that
you spell your
child's name
creatively,
uniquely,
but phonetically
recognizable
according to
American English.
For example, did you realize that the letter c, when followed by
an e, i, or y,
usually makes
the s sound?!
This is one of MANY
spelling rules
that most people
are not aware of.
Most people are not
taught the intensive
phonetic rules
in kindergarten
that they need to read,
but read by memorizing
how a word looks OR
by intuitively using the
correct rules, while
not really being
conscious of them.
This is a delightful,
but unexpected service that I am offering.
I first realized that I
could really
help in this area
because of a casual
correction that I
offered to an
expecting mother...
that subsequently corrected the
spelling of the
baby's name.
AND, I was encouraged
by one of my
students to add this service to my website!
As a tutor of dyslexics,
I routinely and
explicitly teach
all the various phonetic
structures and mostly unknown spelling rules,
with all their
exceptions, while
noting the rarities,
so that my students can learn to read.
Just as with my tutoring,
I charge $60 per hour
with a one hour minimum. Payment is expected at
time of service.
Here's an example of how
I could help you
uniquely spell,
Shawn:
Shaughn, Shaun,
Shon, Shonne,
Shaune, Shawne
Shaunne, and Shawnne.
Here's an example of how
I could help you
uniquely spell,
AnnaLeigh:
AnaLeigh, Annalie,
Analie,
AnnaLey, Annaley, Analey,
Anna-Ley, Ana-Ley
AnnaLee, AnaLee,
Anna-Lee, Ana-Lee,
Anna-Lea, and Ana-Lea.
