Hoping2bgreek10- I wouldn't worry about it too much. I also have a very unusual last name and a common first name with a different spelling but I still got a bid to my first choice. But even now, years after I got activated, my sisters still sometimes misspell my name and some still can't say my last name correctly.

Also, the different spelling of your first name could help you in recruitment because it may jog an active's memory of who you when it comes time to vote. If I see a girl's name tag with a unique looking name on it, it definitely sticks out to me more than a name like Sarah or Lauren (no offense to anyone with either of those names, but they are extremely popular) and I am more likely to remember who they are when it comes time to vote.
