I think this is a great idea, My kids are having similar problems as in California Elena is the preferred spelling for my daughter Elaina's name, and my son has a boy's name that has now been widely used for girls, so whenever we see his name...it's in pink or lavender, ugh.
My name is Alaina and everyone spells it with the E
one time there were like 3 people in row who spelled it Elena which is strange because i would never think that they would sound anything a like
but i love the idea of the swap because i can never find anything with my name on it
