Silent letters in baby names create interesting spelling-pronunciation gaps. Names like Gwendolyn (silent "d" feel), Phoebe, Rhiannon, Knightley, Pneuma, and Ptolemy carry this complexity. While potentially tricky for children learning to spell their own name, these names feel literary, historical, and distinctive.
