I suspect you will all tell me IABU.
My daughter (age 6) has a name that has a naturally short version associated with it that can be spelt various ways (think ey, ie, i ). She is generally known by this shortened version.
We have always spelt it one way, and as a result anything personalised that she has, has that spelling on it (nameplate for bedroom door, waterbottle, picture canvas with our names on my husband had made for me etc)
She has decided that she wants to spell it one of the other ways, which personally is my least preferred spelling of this. And now she signs her name this way on everything.
She is starting a new school in September and when I filled the forms out I did it with the original spelling (before this fad) but when she went in for a welcome afternoon she told the teacher it was the other spelling so the teacher now wants me to confirm which spelling we are to use.
I guess I just need to suck it up and let her change it don't I, it is her name after all...but am a bit gutted especially about the canvas with the family names on...
