I think I win the prize for the most craziest spelling of a first name ever -

[Fimbo]

Abee. New child today at playgroup.

Why oh why oh why?

I knew an Yvonne that was pronounced "Wyvonne".

Also once knew a "Goe-Amber", pronounce JoWamber, beyond weird.

I've also known a Melony. Does conjure up an image... Also a Danyele (=Daniel not Danielle).

LOL at Wyvonne, sorry

Dh has a CURSTY in his extended family

How about

Zowey?

Do you think Zowey was what David Bowie really meant?

Cursty is a bit too close to crusty i think

similar to artichokes, i knew an Emma-Leigh at school

There's a Melony in a John Irving novel. It is a misspelling of Melody though.

LOL at Cursty

I know of a Chernel
but in fairness it was blended from parents names. One of whom was dying.
but she had grief all her life spelling the name out.

i know a guy called x-ian (christian) his mum thought it made sense because of x-mas

Taichi
(pronounced tie-ees)
???!

I looked after a child called Laouise which was pronounced Leisha???

My dd is Phoebe and the amount of people who spell it Pheobe. and yes, we did have someone spell it feebie once.
I presume Sapphron is meant to be pronounced Saffron but surely as there are two p's in there it doesn't make the ffffff sound?
If you are going to give your child an normal name, don't change the spelling. It will just annoy them forever!

I win! I win!!

JORJA .....I am not joking either!

Why would you spell the beautiful name of Georgia as Jorja!!!!!

Horrific.

Petit....Sapphire has 2 p's and is a f sound so maybe they thought it was the same.

of course. what about two dc. james AND rory (same family) but both girls?!

Well my friend is called Ross Joseph and she is a girl!!

I think that must damage you in some way!

Collision - do you mean Jorja Fox as in the actress (CSI), or someone else? If someone else then maybe it is a recognised spelling (seeing as that would mean there is more than one IYSWIM)

I hadnt heard of Jorja Fox. Jorja is so ugly though, dont you think?

Meh. Don't really like either of them if I am honest

which names? Jorja and Georgia?

I think Georgia is quite pretty but not my personal choice. Jorja looks horrible.

So are these parents stupid and just can't spell or are they trying to be "whacky"?

I know which one I think

Yeah, don't really like the name Georgia, however you spell it. Agree Jorja is a bit wierd though - took me ages to work out if it was supposed to be pronounced like that or if it was Hispanic - ie horha
