Running Stupid Spelling of Names Thread

And you haven't even gotten into the 'G' variations.

 

I have said this for years now, the friggin' Cabbage Patch generation is getting older, having babies and naming their friggin' kids like that damn toy company did.

It's the Cabbage Patch Kids I tell you. Those damn Cabbage Patch Kids!

 

You also forgot Kaitlinn and Caitlinn. All sorts of permutations.

A friend who was entering HS graduation names found Juliefer the other day. And Lixyibeth.

Also went to school with a Jalonda and a Javonca.

Meechi.

The many spellings of Kaitlyn (what is the right one? IS there one?) also remind us of all the ways to spell Kristen.

Kristen
Kristin
Kristyn
Kristenn
Kristinn
Kristynn
Cristin
Christin
Christyn
Etc., etc., etc.

And, of course, Kristi, Kristee, Christee, Christie, Chrystee, etc., etc., etc.

 

When I was like 13, I was going to have a daughter and name her Jenipher. Because I thought it would make her stand out.

I grew out of it. Too bad others didn't.

 

You will decay like any other carbon-based life form whether you spell your name Kayceigh or Casey, deal with it

 

This is where ze Germans do it right. They just don't put up with this crap. You come in to register your child's birth and try and pass off a ridiculous name, or a boy's name for a girl and vice versa, and they just tell you no f*cking way.

It's apparently actually happened to American troops over there.

 

Name nazis?

 

We gave our first daughter a somewhat unusual name (spelled normally) and then - out of nowhere - it was the no. 2 name in the country two years later.

We have another uncommon name lined up for No.2, though her nickname will be very common - and spelled normally.

 

My sister is part of the problem. Her name is Krystin.

 

No, then your parents are the problem. Your sis had no control.

 

I prefer to blame her.

 

Are you named after a family friend or respected relative, Dickens Cider?
