Names with strange spellings

I sent a birthday card to the friend of a daughter today then felt bad because I realised that I had addressed her as Sarah Jane instead of Sarah Jayne. I also know of an Allison and a Michele etc.

AIBU to wonder if you think this is an attempt at individuality or just a bit weird?

Sorry, this was meant to be under AIBU! Please ignore!

YABU to think someone's 'a bit weird' for adding a 'y' to their name. YABU as well if you feel bad for not getting the spelling right. The fate of every idiosyncratic name-speller is to spend their whole life correcting others. :)
