Bizarre spellings of names

[ShuttyTown]

Anyone seen or heard a name which has a ridiculous spelling? I was served in a shop today by a Georja.

Looked very wrong

I've seen Fynlie and Kasidi recently, but was on a site mainly used by Americans.

I know of Kci round here. I wonder if it's the same one as cakeymccakington or If there is more than one?

@MyWhatICallNameChange are you in the south east?

I don't like most of them. I don't 'get' why parents do it. It just causes the person to spell their name for their whole life.
I know a Leica.

At work I’ve seen:
Jaysun
Arunn
Lundyn (ffs)

I know a Jorja and a C'Jai (C.J.)

Jorja I get. C'Jai I struggle with.

I know so many Casper/Caspar/ Kacpers I'm now just confused.

I personally know

KC (both capital letters)
Feebee
Fynnley
Lukus
Dene

What's wrong with Debra.

The only one that really gets me is Zooey as in Zooey Deschanel the actress. By the laws of English surely that's zoo - ey? Surely?

Also used to teach a CJ (not short for anything, not initials - full name) and a Le (Lee) Le hated it though. Added an extra "e"", though was Le on official records.

Leia pronounced Leah.

The father was a huge star wars fan and the mother didn't want a child pronounced Leia so they compromised

How do they pronounce Dene? I’m Canadian & Dene is the name of a people (sub-Arctic) & it’s pronounced Den-aye.

The worst I’ve seen is Poppeigh.

Phebie. Huh?!

I know someone who has named their child Niambh.

Dene = deenee

The Dene I know is pronounced the same as Dean

Niamh, spelt Neve. Just lazy

Jaxon just beyond terrible

Meghanne
Jayke
Maxx
Fynnleigh

I’d assume Poppeigh was pronounced Popeye!

I can’t read Dene as anything but Den-aye, but that’s just me. It is a stupid ass way of spelling Dean though.

Austen, Debra and Lillie are all OK spellings - have been around for a long time. I know an Austen and a Debra - both in their early 50s.

White middle class professional named Maffu..... pronounced Matthew. Before I met him I pictured an African Warrior , how wrong I was

Kimber-leigh (Kimberly)

Emmer-leigh (Emily)

@cakeymccakington I am in the south east. It must be the same one surely. There can't be more Kci's out there.
