What's the worst spelling of a name you have seen?

[Fimbo]

Mine is Lucinda spelt Lucinder

My middle name is Siobhan - I get lots of variations on that - the funniest was Chevette!

NoNickname? What's bad about Mikayla? Pretty standardised spellling isn't it? (have known a few all with the same spelling.....)

Lol Kayzr, this girls name is actually pronounced 'Kay-Lie' not Kay-lee though. I thought it was just a nick name when I first heard it but no it's her real name and spelt K-lie, she's about 15 by the way, so this stupid spelling thing isn't just a recent phenomenon.
Also used to play netball against a girl at school called Exstacey, pronouced you guessed it 'Ecstacy'. I mean why would you do that to a child?

not my name but i used to work for someone called

Brian Craggs

He got a letter one day addressed to

Brain Crapps

When DD2 started at her new school they spelt 'Caitlin' as 'Kaitlynn' apparently it was because the other girl in the class with the same name spelt it that way

Kay-lie is what we used to call a strange sherbert thing we bought by the ounce when we were children.

Jorja is actually the spanish spelling of Georgia.

Janeite, we did too Now that stuff had E numbers in!!

i don't understand r-marni

Joolyer

Yes I have seen Pheobe before. I don't think it is intentional, you would think that the registrar would tell them that they have the letters round the wrong way!

Not a person's name but our house. Yew Tree Cottage.

The number of letters we've had addressed to Ewe Tree Cottage would make you weep.

Twins in Glasgow called Gucci and Versace McClutchie. An urban myth surely.

georgimama - I suppose "Ewe" is margianlly better than "You" tree cottage

Sorry, not spelling, just terrible names...

We've had that too.

And "U" Tree Cottage. I kid you not.

Am hugely relieved to hear that jorja is a bona fide spelling!

I'm also sure that Tobee could be a European spelling of the "English" Toby....

It's not! It can't be!! It might be a bona fide made up spelling, but surely the girl's name Georgia is either a form of the male name George, or it's a direct correlation to the American state (which again, was named after a George - King George).

Jorja just sounds, mad.

Great timing for this thread I was just about to start one to say that today I've seen a car number plate of:

S 50WFY

(with the gap as I've put it).

So, is this just the most fantastically chav-tastic attempt at a personalised number plate for a Sophie, or did her mother think she was giving her an exotic name of Sowfy?

(I could only see the SOW part of it )

georgimama - don't forget that many "English" names don't "work" in other lanagues, so many many names have been aletered.

"Tomas" - bona fide spelling of Thomas in Spain (I think?) too.

I worked with a spanish lady called Jorja and I saw two Jorja's (both spanish) on a list recently so I am pretty sure it is not made up!
