Savvy44x ParticipantOh my goodness, my name is constantly mixed up. My name is Leila, and it's pronounced Layla. If I write out my name, people pronounce it Lia, Lila, Leela, Lala, Lola, the list goes on. But if I tell people my name, when they go to write it down, they spell it Layla, Liela, Laila, Lela, Lala, etcetcetc… Also, I kid you not, about 80% of people I meet call me Princess Leia and then laugh at their creativity.. like, you really think I haven't heard that before? Online I go by Savvy (people then think my name is Savvannah but that's not too often), Candy (Well it's usually CandyFloss109 (what they call cotton candy in England) and then people call me Candy. Don't get too much trouble with that), or Grace/Gracie (my middle name. Not too confusing). 🙂

ButterflyParticipantOh my gosh, yes! My real name is Emie, though my nickname is Emi. People spell it Emmy, Emmi, Emia and Ema. The also call me Emily and Emma. *sighs*
Nobody ever misspelled my CB name, except once it was spelled Butterflie, but that's pretty. Maybe I should change my CB name to Butterflie. . . .
-
EmberParticipantI know the feeling! Although my name is spelled Emmy instead of Emie. I got loads of other names as well including Alexandria. Like seriously? I can't even.

LeeliParticipantTwobotjer Graces? My middle name is Grace! Also, my first name means Grace! If anyone can guess it, great job! Also, sorry Mei, I think I've done Mei-Xue a lot. 0.0 hehe….
-
Mei-xue (May-shreh) ParticipantFairylandAnne? Anna? Maria?
-
LeeliParticipantYes! Anna! I didn't think anyone would get that… XD
-
-
Tuxedo kittenParticipantBag EndMy name is Grace also! Wow…alot of Graces. Leeli is your name Hannah?
-
Savvy44x ParticipantHey, my middle name is Grace as well 🙂
-
LeeliParticipantWow, cool! And Tux, you're close! Anna!
-
-
Leeli, typoParticipantTwo other, not Twobotjer. I'm not sure how autocorrect comes up with these things sometimes.

Dandelion ParticipantMy real name, which I'm not going to say gets mispelled a lot. It has a th and a lot of people just write a T. Its kinda annoying sometimes, especially when I have told the persom more than once how to spell it! On CB I sometimes get spelled 'Dandilion', but I don't really mind much about it.

ApplejaguarParticipant!!
New YorkSometimes people call me Apple Jaguar. My name isn't Apple Jaguar, it's Applejaguar. No hard feelings if you've called me that, though.

Autumn LeavesParticipant14
Floating on the breezeHaha, three Graces! (Plus some middle names too!) That's so cool! My middle name is Elizabeth. Oh yeah, and Mei, that's so cool about the band/clarinet thing! My band isn't exactly elite; we're a small homeschool band that just got started but is rapidly growing, and the honor band thing is an intense band weekend where you have hours and hours of reherseal for two days and then a concert the next. I sure hope my lip doesn't literally explode! I've been playing for two years in the summer; how about you? What curriculum do you guys use? (We do essential elements.)
Luna says "keer" Wow, that sounds like a word. Queer, maybe?
*How on earth did you come up with that. The captcha was completely devoid of Q's OR U's. You are so disapointing.*
Eh, you know you love me. You're a sweet puppy at heart.
**growls**
I think.

DanieParticipantDanie is pretty easy, though I've been called Danny or something else once or twice.
My real name, Danielle, is somehow really hard for some people? I've seen Danyelle, Daniella, and Daniel.
Daniel is probably the one that irritates me most, especially when people pronounce it that way. It irritated me because multiple other kids had this name, and it would get confusing and you get the point. Also Daniel seems like a boy name, and a boy name for a girl? eeeh no.

Abigail S.Participant12
Nose in a BookOn CB, I've gotten a lot of Abigial and Abigal and Aibgail, which I'm guessing are probably just typos and not actually intentful misspellings. 😛
In real life, my name is misspelled ALL the time. (I'm not posting my actual name here, though.) The most common one is Ella. If you know my actual name, then you'll get how this gets confused, but even so. People also like adding the letter h to the end of it, which also puzzles me.
However, the pronounciation is generally more problematic for people— My friends and I make a game of it to tally how many subs have ever gotten my name right on the first try. So far, three. That's it.
-
Embers in the AshesParticipantI didn't learn to spell my middle name until two years ago. Enough said.
-
Kaleidoscope GryphonParticipant13!!!!!!
The Prism SkyHA. You wouldn't believe all the different ways my real name has been misspelled.
I'm not reveaing it (sorry peeps) but for some reason whenever I tell people it they say "oh, Mayrim? (you would understand if you knew it) I've even had some close friends spell my name wrong XD.
My CB name however is bassically a train wreck of misspellings (oh cringe my grammar)
Kalidiscope griffin. Kilidiscope gryfon, Kaleidoscope Gyrfon, I could go on and on. BUt ya I get how it could be spelled incorrectly cuz' Kaleidoscope is a pretty twisty word:/ Ha, Ive even spelled it incorrectly a couple times XD

KestrelParticipantThere are people that spell my CB name wrong whenever they write it, but I don't want to correct them because I don't know how to do it without sounding like a jerk. I've seen Kesteral, Kestarl, Kesatral, Kestral, Kesatrel, Kesterl, etc. The most common misspelling that I see is Kesteral.
My real name (in American) is Julia, which is kind of hard to misspell or mispronounce 😛
The name that my parents wanted to put on my birth certificate, but couldn't, would be Юлия (the closest English pronunciation is Yuliya, but that's not completely accurate either. The only people that I have met that have been able to pronounce it right have been other Russians. 🙂
And then I have absolutely no clue how to spell my middle name properly. I'll take a shot in the dark, though: Igorivna.
Wow, that looks strange in typing. Anywho, this is a cool thread idea!
-
SeptemberParticipantI don't think that anyone's misspelled September. . . My real name, which is Megan, often gets misspelled as Meghan, though.
-
Embers in the AshesParticipantOof. I know someone named 'Meghna' and people constantly mispell it. Or they call her 'Meghan'.
