Okay, I had to add. What are the most awkward spellings you have seen for, slightly, comon names or strange pronunciations for normally spelled names? FEMALE was a good one.
I knew a girl in college who spelled her name Agnes. We were calling her Agnes, but she'd alwasys correct us and say "My name is ah-nyez. We were like "whatever...don't try to be shmancy now girl."
I knew another girl in high school who's name was Shante, but spelled it Chaunteaux. I was like "Yo' mama trippin." In my best ettogha (pig latin so as not to offend anyone) voice.
My name is actually NOT spelled the "typical" way, but I feel like there's a desire to keep some anonymity since several people referenced their names but didn't say what it was, so I will abide.
