So I've got a friend (not particularly close especially during covid we've drifted apart), so now more a friend of a friend.
They had a baby during lockdown and I sent a present etc but am meeting them next weekend for the 1st time since baby was born.
Tonight I noticed they'd posts a pic of their DD on fb, and I thought the forking was different to his I remembered. Scrolled back a couple of posts and they've been spelling her name a particular way for the last couple of months.
However, if you go further back they used to spell it they way I had thought they initially had. It's not a name I was familiar with before.
It seems a bit strange to me that they'd suddenly change the spelling for no reason so I'm now wondering if they've changed the pronunciation too?
Should I ask?
Also one of the gifts I've bought is personalised with DDs name and I've used the spelling they originally used. Can I just pretend I didn't notice? Do I ask? I'm confused as they just seemed to slip the spelling change under the radar. Are they just hoping to avoid any awkward conversations? If so,'it might be worse if i ask?
