Bizarre spellings of names

[ShuttyTown]

Anyone seen or heard a name which has a ridiculous spelling? I was served in a shop today by a Georja.

Looked very wrong

[Awwlookatmybabyspider]

Robynne. Laurayne. Keli.
I quite like unique spellings, but some just don't look right. I mean what's the point of adding to silent letters to Robyn.

I know this spelling is used but not often: a friend of mine has a Lillie.

Lillie is a pokemon cartoon anime. Also a lifetime of saying no it's not Lily it's Lillie.

[fleshmarketclose]

Eevee so named because her df likes pokemon I just think it means a lifetime of correcting other people's spelling.

[Magpie24]

Linzi for Lindsey, although maybe that is more common now?

[EvilTwins]

I used to teach a Zowie (was still pronounced Zoe)

[ShuttyTown]

They just look really weird written down, like it's a spelling mistake

[ShuttyTown]

Goodness @EvilTwins that's one of the worst I've seen!

[SingingSands]

Gordan. Pronounced “Jordan”.

Just no.

My daughters name is spelt Rikki, people always tend to writy Ricky.

[TinselAngel]

I went to school with somebody called Leica- ie Lisa. Every time we had a new teacher she had to explain.

She's presumably spent her entire life doing this.

[goose1964]

is it a foreign spelling? i know of Jorja. My friend's daughter is Krysytyna bit that's the Polish spelling (DF is Polish)

[ShuttyTown]

@goose1964 not sure, she didn't have an accent or anything but suppose it could be.

My goodness the Lisa one takes the biscuit, that's just horrendous!

[tissuesosoft]

Aimeee, Char (Cher), Ashleey, Tea (with no accent so should be Teà), Tygre (Tiger/Tyger), Bambiie,

[tissuesosoft]

Mai and Mya but pronounced Mia. Leeanna (pronounced Leanne), Dyelan (Dylan/Dillon),

[Wishfulmakeupping]

When I read the thread title I immediately thought 'Jorga' completely ruins an absolutely beautiful name

[YCAWS]

There's a Mykey- Mikey at my daughters pre school

[FrLukeDuke]

Chelcie.
I always read Carole and Iain wrongly

[ShuttyTown]

Chelcie is dire!

[SellFridges]

Olyviah. Or something like that. Awful.

[totsalot]

There's a grayzie at playgroup. Her mum always gets annoyed when people say it as it's spelt so "grey zee" instead of "Gracie"

[MrsFoxPlus4]

Iv never met another Amee like me.

Ciianne, pronounces Sian.

[Mermaid36]

Jaxxon

[Awwlookatmybabyspider]

Also recall a Traeciee and who can forget Trayc.
I know of a Melhoney which I think is lovely.

[tamepanda]

I'm a Katrina, and I'm Scottish so I get:
Catrina,
Catriona,
Katriona,
Karina,
Carina,
Cathrina,
Kathrina,
Kathriona
