You are a soon-to-be parent. You can't decide on an original name, so you just go with a common name. However, the spelling of the name will be warped a ridiculous amount. What name do you choose and what's the new spelling?

German for "tooth of the Sioux" (Zahn=tooth). While I'm not sure if it has been used at all, it is a valid combination of nouns there.

People are guessing them anyway. I was a bit confused, since the title didn't say to do that, but this one didn't have a guess on it and it seemed out of place.
