OneLittleLady I know a Cheney through work, although she pronounces it 'Chain-y'. Although, she may spell it Cheyney... I'll have to check my emails in the morning! She's still the only one I know. I didn't realise I knew so many unique people!

SubliminalMassaging · 26/08/2013 20:28

There are some very rum spellings here - are they typos or is that why you only know one of them - because it's a normal name just spelt wrong? Confused

Rowenna - Rowena?

Margret - Margaret?

Hestier - Hester?

Alyiousa - Aloysia? (fem. form of Aloysius - that one must be a type surely - it makes no sense)

Pheobe - Phoebe?

Charlette - Charlotte?

Loui - Louis?

Rowenna came up twice. Are they actually pronounced Rowenna or is it supposed to be Rowena?
