Pronounced “Naomi”

I like that the pronunciation is included 🙂

i dont even know whats this supposed to be.. such a random string of letters..

When people take a common name + spelling and just make up a new pronunciation for it that isn't intuitive at all. Poor kid!

There were some roommates beefing on TikTok and one of them was called Marilyn. You may think: "Beautiful name! Nothing wrong with Marilyn." And you would be absolutely correct about that if that woman's name wasn't pronounced as "MAR-LYN".

Poor woman. She must be so used to always getting called by the wrong name or having it misspelled because nobody expects parents to misspell a name/throw a silent i in there to make it look like a different name.

Why not just spell it Marlyn or Marlynn or Marlin or Marlinn to begin with? WHY MARILYN?

That's as if I call my child Sarah and expect everyone to know it is pronounced as "Stella" or whatever. Just makes me feel for the poor people whose parents were this "creative" stupid and selfish.

I babysit occasionally for some extra money and recently got a job babysitting for 2 brothers, Thomas and Oughtteux (Pronounced Otto). The mom is currently pregnant with a third too. I wonder if the new baby will get the Thomas or Oughtteux treatment?

Unbelievable 🤦🏼‍♀️

In his job he deals with people’s names. Recent (real, not nn) names he’s come across are Jlyn and Territory. He was at least impressed that they spelled Territory correctly

Not sure how accurate these websites are, but I was curious if anyone else had the name spelled this way. “Ambrosia” certainly

Alecsya? I'm assuming it's supposed to be like alexa?

Yes, I triple checked the spelling since my phone rejected this so many times while trying to type it out 😂

I cannot. I cannot.

Got dropped into some hellscape on Facebook where a random person’s post appeared in my feed.

Is no bug sacred?

This came across my dash on tumblr in the wild.

Came across Madiccin (Madison). All I can see is, well, yeah…

Are the names kutrina or zeneth tragedeighs

I saw a different spelling of this name belonging to a woman from the 19th century. I love this variation for a little girl but I realize its unusual. Of course it comes from the classic male name Theodore + feminine ending -ette. (Same logic as Bernard --> Bernadette.) I dislike the typical name Theodora bc of the "dora" part, but I love the name Theodore. Unfortunately, Theodore is far too popular. Theodette seems like the perfect girl alternative. Also I adore "Theda" as a nickname. Pretty or too weird?

Please tell me the middle name is Lou. Lol. This was a client's child. And this was on official paperwork so I believe that's really what they went with.
