Fayt

Was going through my son's soccer roster, this one, not shockingly, caught my eye. Good news is all the other names I spotted were perfectly normal and even spelled correctly.

YUCK.

Just one little typo... and this could be Fart.

Yeah, that was my first thought.

Fart was my first thought too, at least spell it Fayette, which isn't much better.

I had a student who spelled it Fayht. I still think the birth certificate had a typo and it was supposed to be Fayth and the parents just went with it. I see no other reason for the H in her name otherwise.

I think they were going for the pronunciation of FATE.

Fayette would be pronouned fay-ET, as in Lafayette, Louisiana;
or FAY-et, as in Fayetteville County, Georgia.
There is also a Fayette County in Texas, but I'm not sure how it's pronounced.

Also, Fayt has something to do with the video game, Zelda. Though I was unable to determine the exact relationship through a quick Google search.
