Myaa-Graice

My friend is currently expecting a little girl. She posted on Facebook the other day, that her daughter's name would be Myaa-Graice. I actually thought she was joking! It looks awful! Nobody will ever be able to spell the poor child's name. I think she should call her Maya Grace instead without hyphen and weird spelling. Wanted to see what everyone else thinks.

Good grief.

What on earth is this fashion with spelling names as weirdly as you can Confused

Seriously, I don't get it

Eatmycheese · 06/06/2018 20:29

Ghastly

Maybe your friend's computer has a sticky keyboard and she really meant Maya Grace

I'm hoping breakfast is right ^^

I think most people think she has spelt Gracie wrong.

Someone at my school was called Graice but now on all social media she spells it Grace so I always wonder if she's now changed her name officially.

LoveInTokyo · 06/06/2018 20:42

Christ on a bike. Have you reported her to social services yet?

WanderingTrolley1 · 06/06/2018 20:42

Awful. Poor child.

GummyGoddess · 06/06/2018 20:44

At least I won't be alone with a stupid spelling with all these new babies! Sadly they're decades younger than me, but at least they'll understand the total stupidity of the misspellings.

C0untDucku1a · 06/06/2018 20:45

Why not laugh and say are your keyboard keys sticky! Maya grace is lovely!

Veterinari · 06/06/2018 20:48

Surely that’s pronounced
My-aah Grice as the ai makes an ‘i’ sound Not an A sound

Helena888 · 06/06/2018 20:59

Yes I might do that actually. Did think it may be some kind of typo at first, but she's posted a few times with same spelling

Maya is a nice name, Grace is a nice name...but I don't think they go together that well, and your friends spelling is ridiculous...the child will spend a lifetime correcting everyone on the spelling, it looks like she is trying too hard to give the baby a trendy name, but instead it makes two lovely names appear chavvy

Candyflip · 06/06/2018 21:04

I think she would call her Maya Grace I think she should call her own baby whatever she wants. What the fuck has it got to do with you?

MikeUniformMike · 06/06/2018 21:19

Is it your baby Candyflip? Why do you not spell your user name KannDeeeee-Flyppe?

Candyflip · 06/06/2018 21:22

Because that’s my sister’s name. My mom needed to tell us apart. It really has nothing to do with the OP (or any judgey fuckers on this thread) what people want to call their own child.

Topseyt · 06/06/2018 21:23

It is dreadful. I think it would improve if she would just spell both names correctly.

MikeUniformMike · 06/06/2018 21:34

Candyflip, Myaa-Graice is not a label I would want anyone to foist on an innocent child. The child would have to live with it, day in, day out. I think the conventional spelling Maia-Grace looks so much better. I don't like hyphenated first names (Ok on the continent but not in the UK), I don't particularly like the name Maia, and I think Grace is overused as a middle name, but at least it looks like a name.

MikeUniformMike · 06/06/2018 21:35

Yes we are judgey but so are you.

Candyflip · 06/06/2018 21:38

😂 how is what I said in any way judgey?

Abouttoblow · 06/06/2018 21:39

The spelling is ridiculous!

It's like announcing you've called your child 'Cat' but you're spelling it 'Dog'
