That you don't know how to spell Taylor

Charlie2121 · 14/06/2024 14:12

Chav. Probably friends with Vicky Pollard.

Several things come to mind about Teyla:

  1. Taylor with a spelling mistake

  2. Leyla with a T rather than an L

  3. It looks like the word Tesla - only one letter different.

I don't mean to be a bitch, but you need to give your child a name that is practical and that doesn't embarrass them.

Prefer Taylor. Not a name I'd chose but wouldn't have any negative thoughts about it spelt Taylor.

Never heard of the name before, I hate these names derived from fiction or misspelling but why not? I agree that the child will have to endlessly spell her name again if it doesn't become wildly popular. One of my daughters is wildly grateful that I didn't on a whim call her Ziba, seen in a hotel room Bible many, many years ago after a bottle of booze!!

I will ignore the ridiculous spelling as PPs have covered that !

Otherwise there will be a shit load of Taylors around I'm sure. I'm not sure id want people assuming I'd named my kid after a pop star.

That said. I think you are winding us up. Grin. Nice one!

MBappse · 14/06/2024 14:10

Tesla came to my mind.

Pinkfan2024 · 14/06/2024 14:09

Why are you spelling it like that?

My first thought would be, Is it a made up name? And is it pronounced the same as Taylor?

Noosnom · 14/06/2024 14:08

Tesla or can't spell I'm afraid.

Username947531 · 14/06/2024 14:08

Very chavy/trailer park and yes, I'd assume as well that you couldn't spell Taylor.

First thought would be you couldn't spell.

This ^ would be my first thought, sorry

Shell spend her life correcting people about how to spell her name

Don’t know how to spell Taylor ?

This!

Plus, I don't like how it looks.

Gorgonemilezola · 14/06/2024 14:07

Trailer park, sorry.

Procrastinates · 14/06/2024 14:07

TheShellBeach · 14/06/2024 14:05

You need to spell it Taylor if you're going to use it, I think.

I like the sound of it, but I’d spell it Taylor.

Literally this, every single time they will have to spell their name!!!

SiriAlexa · 14/06/2024 14:05

I’d go for Taylor instead. I’m not very keen on the name but then I tend to prefer more traditional names which is just personal taste.

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 14/06/2024 14:04

yoshiblue · 14/06/2024 14:04

Sounds chavvy - sorry!

Tesla. As in the car.
