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

Annalise - spelled Analyse.

I know a woman named Karen but pronounced Keryn, very confusing!

Poppii (Poppy to you and me). It's Latin apparently???

I thought Zowie was Zowie Jones, he just added Duncan when he got older?

Although I always get confused, did Zowie rhyme with Zoe or Howie? Bowie seems to go between the 2 depending on who you speak to

Kathryn, Debra and Steven were all thought of as funny made-up spellings once, but that was probably 50-60 years ago.

Shevaun instead of Siobhan and Lowla instead of Lola....

bored duncan was his given name.

David himself varied pronunciation which can be seen in video footage. Sometimes Bow and in to bow down and sometimes bow and in to tie a bow.

Poppii is latin? Latin for what?
The flower is Papaver.

People maybe? Population?

Maybe they are getting confused with Pompeii and Italy and Latin!

No idea Mike. I just nodded and smiled. I can't help but call the poor kid Popeye in my head.

Popeye was my first thought too. I could just about understand Poppi (awful) but Poppii is Poppy-eye. Plural of Poppius. latin for myparentsa aretwats

Ive seen a Ryeleigh at nursery as well as Krimzen (Crimson).

Close colleagues of my DH have daughters Oliveya, Rhubee and Francheska

Elivier for Olivia
Someone on instagram welcomes her niece to the world last week ‘oshun’ (ocean)

@lanbro I know a Karen who pronounces her name as Kieron... surely Karen is just Karen!

I know someone with a Bayly (Bailey) but then she herself is called Voirrey (pronounced to rhyme with lorry) so maybe it's in the genes!

@NinaMarieP I know a Karen called Kieron as well, wonder if it's the same one?

I've taught/known of a Tylar, Alivia, Jacab, Charddonnaie, Kodieleigh, Maxxei...

Loui as they were worried Louis would get pronounced wrong 🙄

she herself is called Voirrey (pronounced to rhyme with lorry) so maybe it's in the genes!

Voirrey is Manx for Mary, so not a "bizarre" spelling.

I'm crying at some of these😂😂

It would be strange to think there was more than one Karen/Kieron out there @fleshmarketclose! Mine's in Scotland in a place starting with D.

Louie is a better spelling outside of France

Well mine was from a small mining village in the East Midlands who moved to America and I lost track. She was an early years teacher and really lovely. Think there might be two Karens called Kieron.

Rylee. Just why not spell it Riley?

Glad I’m not the only one who knows that “Zowie Bowie” has always been Duncan Jones
