I want to name my future daughter after my grandmother, and so to keep the name true, I will keep the harder spelling. It's the Dutch spelling, and so it has a double a in the middle of the name, whereas the English spelling would only have 1.
But otherwise, my names meet all the rules. The English spelling of my grandmother's name is more popular than the Dutch spelling, but it still isn't in the Top 100. My future son's name--named after my husband's grandfather--isn't in the Top 1000.
