We used a name to honour my FIL (but changed the spelling) so he is moaning that we might as well not have bothered. Should I change it?

[ConfusedAsEver]

I'm actually upset/annoyed. My FIL has an okay name (I don't love it, but we used my dad's name for DS1, so didn't mind using it) however both DH and I hate the way his dad's name is spelt, it's a 'unique' spelling.

So we used the original spelling. He is very annoyed claiming it's a completely different name and is giving DH a hard time about him preferring my dad and letting me walk all over him

Now I don't even want to use the blinking name!! WIBU to change the name? (Our son is registered btw)

You beat me to it, Maud

It's William. Spelled K.E.V.I.N

AnyFucker

He spells it Whillyam.

Thank goodness I name changed

My dad was William. My mind is blown trying to thing of a 'unique' spelling! Willyam? Wileyam?

Whillyham?! WTAF

Perhaps FIL'S name is spelled C.O.C.K.

Thank god you didn't copy that spelling , it's awful.

Whillyham!

Whillyham?! Good grief. Please don't change to that spelling!!

Im, not the extra h!! That's literally willy ham it's Whillyam

AF

Willy-Ham

please change the spelling to that, OP

willy ham!

Or Whillyam even. Still dwaiting my change it!!

He spells it Whillyam.

He's was clearly hoping he wasn't going to be the only one stuck with such a stupid name.

dwaiting?! Don't!

Willy-ham is just asking to be teased at school! You are totally not BU.

. And he expected you to adopt that random string of letters spelling too?? Nutcase...

Ha ha ha ha

What were grandparents in law thinking? At least it proves youniqe spellings are clearly not a modern phenomenon

Dear god.

He's clearly a man with a chip on his shoulder having grown up with that for a name.

it may very well be willy ham but is it naice ham?

When I googled it, it said: Did you mean: William

That has to be the stupidest spelling I've seen.

Tell him he's right, you do prefer your dad.

That is one awful spelling imo.

Was whoever registered FIL's name drunk?

Is anyone else saying it in the Stewie Griffin 'Cool Whip' way?
