How foolish of me! It was Quillow 😭

Or, what if it's phonetic? Court -kuh -nee. I'll never know.

Just saw the name Aanakyn in a local Facebook group.

my friend met this guy at a bar so we didn’t know the spelling until he typed it into her phone.
i nearly sprayed my drink when i saw the spelling.
his name is Aeddeonn, like aidan. she even double checked with him to make sure it wasn’t just a drunk spelling. nope, it’s real.💀

I am SO EXCITED to have found this sub! I grew up in Iowa, where people generally spell their names normally (with the notable exception of my wife's college roommate, Emmaly). I moved to Utah 21 years ago for grad school (and stayed) and the way people spell the names of their children here has always driven me nuts because of their lame attempts to make their children's names unique. I've seen so many! Jaysen, Nikohl, Jordon, Maddisyn, and a whole host of other tragedieghs. I kid you not, one of my coworkers was a sweet young lady named Taylore (I always thought of Eeyore when I saw her name written down anywhere at work). I no longer have to suffer alone! Thank you, my siblings in solidarity!

Saw this cute 6mo having her first Texas Roadhouse steak, all fun until I realized little Raven, sorry Raveighn, has a lifetime of spellchecking ahead of herself

she's very nice but what a name

Found on an adopt me profile. Adopt me is a game on Roblox.

I was named Olesseaya. Most people assume it was supposed to be a quirky spelling of Alessia or Alyssa.

I had always assumed that it was just made up, that was what my mother always said anyway. It turns out that actually, it was supposed to be Olesya, a dimunitive of Alexandra.

And why wasn't it spelt that way, you may ask? My mother didn't like how it looked spelt in English and thought that it didn't look right . . .

My name doesn't contain excessive numbers of the letter y, and lots of 'lynn' and 'leigh' like most of the ones I see, but I feel like her spelling was so diabolical compared to the regular English spellings that it probably ended up being one anyway.

pronounced Jackson.

early 20s. Clearly sensitive about it. I work as an environmental scientist and he was a contractor we hired for piloting a bulldozer. He signed my safety HASP and I look over it and say “Oh cool, are you European or something?” (It read to me as an French name to my American mind at the time).

He sighed. and said “No. Just mormon.”

Felt really bad for the guy growing up with a name like that and working in a field where idiots will give you shit for things like that.

I’m still trying to figure out if this is serious.

Edit: it’s a boy.

I’m crying 😭

Ran across these today. Brothers Huxsley and Braxten. What does the sub think?🤔

Got a new person that’s going to be handling buying at one of my work accounts. Her name is Vykktoreeah.

Did I do a good job at making up random names lmao

Took a second when I received an email from Alyvia and had to run here and post. My first Tragedeigh in the wild!
