Is your name difficult to spell or pronounce? What kinds of variations have you gotten?
Garet, Garret, Garett,
Garrette – Um, I’m not a girl!
Gariet – Where in the world do you hear an I?
Garnet – Some people actually see the second r and think “n” I guess.
And finally – Grant – I this person was just blind or something.
Anyway, what about your names?
Favorite Answer
Sometimes I get Louse.
Not the most complimentary thing I’ve ever been called.
I changed my first name a few months ago and my former first name was Robin, which I think is easy to pronounce, but I was constantly asked how to spell it. With a Y or an I? One B or two B’s and I was often asked if I was a male or female while standing directly in front of people — what are they blind?
Kaila
Kaylia (no idea why the I is there)
Chela
Keila (this is probably my favorite spelling variation)
it’s not that hard to pronounce, but a lot of people say the “ay” wrong… they say “ale” (like in pale) instead.. so it sounds like KALE-A which is kind of annoying lol… it’s what my relatives in New York would call me…It also drives me nuts when people call me Kyla!
anyway, good question! here’s a star =]
These are the different spelling variations that I know:
-Annabelle
-Anabell
-Anaboll (haha I know weird, but that’s my friends’ name)
I don’t like when people call me Ann for short, and a lot of people call be Anabella instead, or Isabelle.
It’s Maureen
I get, Maurine, Morine, Moreen, Murine.
-MM
I have gotten:
Hanna
Hanah
Hana
And some people have called me Anna.
Rebecca Rebeca Rebecka Rebeka…
Darrell, Darell, Darel, Darrel, Darryl, Daryl, Daryll…….. It goes on and on. One out of ten people will spell it correctly the first time……if I am lucky.
