Create a yoonique spelling- a game

[Soubriquet]

Let's see how wacky we can get

Roobie= Ruby

I know 2 Suzans, both say it as Suzanne. I also know a Susanne but she's Swedish.

I know a Debbie who has decided she is now Debi 😖

Please tell me she does a circle for the dot on the 'i'.

A relative decided they wanted to be known by a nickname instead of their name. Think Cazza instead of Carol. They'd pull me up on it if I wrote their name instead of their chosen 'fun' nickname. Thing is, they weren't 14, this person had been happy with their name and was in their forties when they decided to get some street cred. I'd never known anyone to call them that. It was a little bit pathetic.

Dayved (David)

Someone said Mayball - I actually know a Meyboll!

I've also met an Emileigh (Emily) and a lady who had a baby named Kaihden (Kayden)

Djyroemme (Jerome) - I named my first dog this
Stiamh (Steve)
Pherne (Fern)

Some of the kids in my children's classes would be

Graysse
Ahmbyrrh
Mawleigh
Maffyew
Kallumb
Haannaagh
Daiyvidd
Ah-Nagh
Kaffrynne
Lahrah
Rayshylle

Hate yoonique spellings with a passion.

I don't think Debi is too bad - isn't Debbie just short for Deborah. Abi for Abigail is OK. Is Debra ok? Nikki, Vikki, Becci? Is Linzi any worse than Linsey? Why do I like Linda but not Lynda?

Polkerris - Kallumb reminded me of an actual name I came across once - Calumn

Poor Callumn.

What about

Cahllumn
Kahl-omb
Kawllumb
or C'Ahl-Umbe?

Kden
Mykel
Androo
Cathwren

Vicktourheeyar (Victoria)
Pamlor (Pamela)
Loora (Laura)
Tsimown (Simone)
Jarkurleen (Jacqueline)

Jeszeekah
Hannnarr
Ayleezaybeth

My cousin had a baby girl and named her Kayla. My grandmother had never heard of the name so called my aunt to check the spelling. My aunt thought it was spelled Kla!! She's never lived it down.

So in honour of the story mine is K-la

I have genuinely met an American Cydne (Sydney).

Ghotiaah. Anybody care to guess what this is a made up spelling of?

Is that Fisher?

That's what I was aiming for, @MaterialReality! I hope nobody's ever tried that one for real.

Maffew
Sighmon
Jaymes

Bevvherleigh

I hope so too, Gasp0de!
