Some parents should not be allowed to name their own children. That's all there is to it.
One thing nearly everyone hates is needing to spell their own names about four billion times over a lifetime because their parents thought they were being cute. Today's new one to me was: Addicyn.
Caryn, Karyn, Karen, Karin, Carrin, Karrin
Emily, Emilie, EmmaLee
Darryl, Darrell, Daryl, Darel, Deral
Alan, Allen, Allan, Alin
Susie, Suzie, Suzy, Soozee
Even Michael ends up being Micheal in some cases.
Philip and Phillip is confusing enough
Worked with a fellow whose name was John John, not sure about his middle name, I was afraid to ask.
You neglected to mention Steven vs Stephen 🙂
I have to add this to the mix...
I think it's hilarious.

Easy conversation between two guys named Bill and Mike......;)
Carson, Karcyn, Carsyn, Carcyn
Amy, Aime, Aimee, Amee, Amie, Aimie
Taylor, Tailor, Taelor
Derek, Derrick
Dylan, Dillon, Dylon, Dyllan
There's no end of variations, nor of names that probably didn't exist 50 years ago.
My sister started teaching in 1974. She said that names used to be easy. By the time she retired, she never ventured to guess the spelling of a name, and often was uncertain of the pronunciation of a written name.
Addicyn is a perfectly good name...for an over the counter pain reliever.

Mike appears to be much less cautious about his identity than he used to be. The Bill of whom I think you speak (not me) still gives few clues to his worldly name, but is free with his location.

Those names were both really common when I was a boy. If the teacher hollered Bill or Mike, six kids would look up.
Who names their kid Paden?

I suspect this Nom de Plume was influenced by the town in Oklahoma of that name.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paden,_Oklahoma
"named for Paden Tolbert, a U.S. Deputy Marshal who served the area in the early 1900s."
But Google has over 5 million hits for Paden, many of them a person's first or last name.

That, too, but it had to come from somewhere.
Hard to screw up "Bob"
