(inspired by the name threads) What's the oddest spelling of a name you've seen?

[Kitty 34]

Being a sub teacher I've seen a lot of roster of names!! I think I've seen 4-5 different spellings of say Alicia alone to name one name.

The oddest spelling, tho was a Michael spelled Mykl and an Autumn spelled Autm.



Note.....this is not intended to offend anyone.

Jen spelled Jhenn

[Cindy B]

Mike = Myqq

 

[Shelle&Dave]

My fiance's daughter's name is Rhian (pronounced like Ryan). I think it's a beautiful name.

I spell my son's name as TREIGH for Trey, I wanted to be different.

DD6 is named Staci instead of Stacy or Stacey.

 

[stinkerbelle]

friend of mine is Khouree (Cory)

 

[Stepharoonie!]

My name has been spelled so many different ways, it's unreal.

Stefanie
Steffaney
Stephaney
Stephinie

etc etc etc...and I guess they're all legitimate ways of spelling Stephanie.

I work part time at a school, so I've seen lots of doozies.

In my son's class last year alone:

Leighah=Leah
Steev'n= Steven
Tyfani=Tiffany

In other classes I've seen

Moorine=Maureen
Kidi=Kitty

Can't remember any others off the top of my head.

 

[Sandy V.]

I've seen Lindsay (girl's name) spelled Lyndsy.

My kids' names are Nicole and Jared, and I've always been amazed at how many spelling variations exist for their names.

My husbands name is Tracee.

He was the third child and his mother said she was naming the baby Tracee if it was a girl or a boy. My husband sure wishes she would have spelled it with a "y" since people always think it's a girl.

The Olympic basketball team has a guard named Dwyane Wade. I've seen Duane, Dwayne, and even D'Wayne, but never Dwyane. I thought it was a typo, to be honest with you. It's not though.

 

[LadyBears]

Siobhan pronounced "sha von"

 

[AmazingGrace]

A friend of mine spells her daughter's name Elisabith.
