Worst spelling of perfectly ordinary names? Elyviya anyone?

[backonthedecaff]

I have met a Danyal, Daniol, Naiphthan, Caytie and an Alivia. Why do people consign their children to a life time of 'no, that's Daniel spelt...'? Any equally terrible ones out there?

Ashtyn is a pretty bad spelling of a not so great name. It's hard to read and then it rhymes with trashcan. I feel bad for kids when this happens...

[SaudadeObama]

I know an Isaque.

[MommaGee]

Yes, some people use odd spellings of 'proper' names, or completely made up names. Other people don't recognise that some 'odd spellings' are, in fact, 'proper names'


If that makes sense

A HCP I know we proud of tactfully persuading a new mum not to call her baby Hugh Janus. "Janus Hugh sounds so much better."

I know a Junita. I thought it was pronounced 'One eeta' but no, it's pronounced 'June eeta'. June for short.

There was a thread about Whillyham yesterday. Except in this case, the unique spelling belonged to the baby's grandfather, who was kicking off that the baby's name was spelt the more traditional way.

This is one I saw the other day but can't think where:
Sssst

Pronounced Forest, of course!

[FixItUpChappie]
