Odd spelled names

[Mad4Mickey]

I cant tell you how many times I have had to hear about how my name is spelled wrong.

I like it when someone says " Oh we/they/I ect... have spelled your name wrong" When I tell them no it correct more people then you will ever know say"Are you sure?" LOL

I have sisters with odd spelled names one is Brandee and the other is Jeanna.They also hear they are mispelled alot .

Anyone else get this ?

Mishell NOT Miss hell ,not Michelle ... just
Mishell LOL

LOL, yeah my name is Angelene, which is why I go by Angela. If they don't spell it wrong (you should see some of the spellings ), then they butcher how to SAY it. Drove me nuts as a teen, and now I have saddled Remy with the same problem LOL.

I know an Ashlie Roland and an Ashley Rowland I know a Brandi and a Brandy I know a Cody (guy) and a Cotie (girl) I know a Mariah not Maraih or Mairah. I know a Sara, a Sarah and a Sarah. I know a Shelbey and my name is Shelby. I know a Lee a Leigh a Leah and a Leiah, all pronounced the same. I know a Ginnie and a Ginny and a Genny.

Yep no one ever spells my name right! I have saddled my youngest with an unusual spelling of a common name too. She already accepts that most people just dont know how to spell her name.

People are constantly trying to put an H in my name. No no, my parents spelled it right, no extra g's or a's and certainly no h's. M-E-G-A-N just like it should be.

If you come up with a clever spelling for your child's name, they can expect a lifetime of questions, mispronounciations, and misspellings. I don't know if I understand the purpose of unusual spellings. More people say a person's name than read it. What is the attraction of unique spellings?

 

[Mad4Mickey]

I also gave my youngest a odd spelled name
He is Derick with only 1 r People never get it right . He is always in the sports page during wrestling season and it is always spelled wrong

because people want their children to be different and stand out.

Who is to say what the "right" way to spell a name is . I believe that my name is phonically correct

As for my sons name, he is kinda named after my Dad cause my sister beat me to the name Richard . He goes by Rick, my son needed a name that started with a D per his fathers family tradition .
See there are reasons to make names unique.

My name is Ronna, I have had people put a "H" in it, Rhonna. Then I have had people spell it Rona or even Ronda.

Is it so hard to spell Ron and then add a "NA" to the end.

Who is to way what the "right" way to spell a name is . I believe that my name is phonically correct

See, my name is spelled right. Adding extra letters is just clutter.

My dgd's name is Kyleigh Mae and her brother's (dgs) is Kyle Lee

 

[LindsayDunn228]

because people want their children to be different and stand out.

And it takes a name for them to do that? Please.

 

[Mad4Mickey]

Hi Lindsay Did the Dis spell your name wrong ? I thought it was Lindsey

 

[dmslush]

And it takes a name for them to do that? Please.

FYI, Sparx is only 13, let's not be to harsh on her.

My middle name is spelled Michele instead of the regular Michelle. I have actually had people ask me if *I* spelled it wrong.. uhhhh.. no, it was that way when I learned how to spell it LOL

 

[DisneyCP2002]

So many people mispell or mispronounce my name, I at times wish I could change it. It's Dania, and pronounced Dane yah but most butcher it. I was named after a family friend.

 

[Talking Hands]

People constantly misspell and mispronounce my name. It is spelled Lisabeth, not Elisabeth or Elizabeth or Lisa Beth. It is pronounced Lisbet (forget the a and the h) I give up. Everyone calls me Lisa. BTW I prefer Lisbet.

My name is Johnie. John with an e. Not hard by any means but since I am female, people feel the need to call me Joanie, Johnna, Joanne, etc I'm named after my grandma, Johnie Mae (I'm not a Mae though!)

DD is Alysia. It's the Greek spelling of Alicia or Alisha. People mispronounce her name all the time.

And neither of us can get things already personalized

 

[bekkiz]

well, you can tell by my screen name I'm Rebecca though--I chose Bekki in the fith grade. It doesn't bother me when people get it wrong, it's not their fault I screwed it up

People are always adding an s to my last name, because that's more common.

My maiden name was italian, and phonetically it sounds like it starts with an s, but really starts with a c, Everyone got that one wrong

 

[Jeanny]

A lot of people mess up my name, usually forgetting the A and calling me Jenny...
My daughter's name is Jacquelyn, not Jacqueline and her nickname is Jacqui not Jackie.... NO K in her name, she learned to say that early on.
so, yeah, we're both use to it.

Johnie~ same for us... very rarely can we find anything personalized for us!!!
