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.

I mean, it’s bloody awful and everything, but what can you do? She can name her DD whatever she wants. I’m sure your friend wouldn’t like my name choices.

Luckily, the poor kid will probably just get sick of explaining her name to people and shorten it to Maya. She can always change it by deed poll when she’s older.

I just hope your friend isn’t on MN.

Now when you Google 'Myaa-Graice' this post is at the top of the search.

Now your only has to Google her daughters name to find out one of her 'friends' has been bad mouthing her name choice!

Let’s hope she does see this thread and has a bit of a rethink before the poor child is registered then!

By the time your friend has told everyone how to say/spell it she will be sick and tired of the name and will decide Mary is easier on everyone.

It looks like a spelling mistake IMO. Not personally a fan of the names even when spelled 'traditionally', but Maia-Grace / Maya-Grace is better.

That is flat out awful.

So investment bankers are to blame for a fight over the way a stranger spells their kid's name!

As much as I agree that it's not a nice name, and it's not. I do feel sorry for this woman, if she should find this thread, that a so called friend has outed her on a public forum to sneer for shits and giggles.

Appalling name. But her choice
