Name Misspellings

smithm24

As we choose names for our LOs, we often think about the name being misspelled or mispronounced. Some we can anticipate, some we cannot. Today I suffered one of those situations which cannot be anticipated.

MerridThe. Today I got my title transfer and some how my name was spelled this way. Really?

So what are some amusing ways your name has been misspelled?

First name Corley (no secret there really). I had tons of Cori's or Courtneys from shear lack of paying attention, but the best was back in middle school a class mate tried to spell it with a Q like Qwary or something.

I'm Sunny, got a lot of Sunnie and Sonny. Or people assuming it was short for Sunshine. Or that assumed it was a nickname and not my legal name.

I am Jessica which isn't hard to spell or pronounce. One year in college my friends took me to Cheesecake Factory for my birthday and my dessert came with the following written on the plate in chocolate:

"Happy Birthday Jacica!"

My name is Zoe, which when I was a kid was extremely uncommon, so no one knew how to say or spell it.  I've gotten Zoie, Zoey, Zooey, Zoee, and then there are people who mishear me and think it's Ellie or Jo.

I have to say that a lot if your posts were funny and shows that people are not observant. I have never dealt with that. My name is Amy spelled the basic way. It is ridiculous what some of you have experienced though.
