Baby Names

I can't help but judge

I try really hard not to judge others, but when I see names spelled really wrong, I can't help myself. My DH's co-worker's (who has a master's plus 32 credits, so you think she could spell) daughter is named Jurnee. Couldn't you have spelled it right? Then I feel bad for judging her :).

  • I think mixing it up a bit is cute, but when it's hard to pronounce or know what name it used to be - that's too much! So, I'm right there with you!

  • I don't understand why it could just be spelled Journey. Definite side eye from me!

  • I think naming someone Journey is pretty strange to begin with, but spelling it wrong makes it worse. If you're going to name her Journey, I say spell it right.

  • When I first saw it, my brain thought it was June. Took a quick sec to realize what it was. I dont like Journey as a name in the first place, this just makes it worse.

    I am of the opinion that words should be spelled correctly.

    Jurnee is horrific.  

    I am also of the opinion that people should use proper grammar.  

    ETA: This is not directed toward you Joy.  I was piggybacking off your opinion.

  • You were not the first, nor will you be the last person to judge poor Jurnee and her parents for that choice.
