Bad Bad name

Maybe you need to tell them it's actually a hyphen so her name should be lehyphena.

Bahahahaha!!!

Don't they understand how the English language works?

It doesn't make sent to pronounce it like that at all - geez these kind of names actually give me a headache to think about lol.

I've read in an article that someone named their child 'Abcde' pronounced ab-sed-y.

My name is Ashleigh and I've had enough trouble with people spelling my name wrong lol

I've heard of that before too, awful, so bogan.

**nickers** · October 2nd, 2011, 08:23 AM

oh my gosh thats terrible!!

Tinks - PMSL!!!

**beansbeans!** · October 2nd, 2011, 08:30 AM

thats exactly what I did, it was followed by a 3min lecture on how to say the name, and ranting about how no-one ever gets it right. Oh i wonder why???

Please tell me you replied by saying that if she didnt want people to get her daughters name wrong then she shouldnt have given her such a stupid spelling for her name!

Haha I've heard of La-a and Abcde before but always thought they were urban myths! But you've both actually met these children? *shakes head*

Sent from my iPod touch - sorry for any mistakes!

Utterly ridiculous!! Spell it Ledasha for goodness sake, it looks and sounds nice. Le-ah is just beyond silly.

Really - aside from the fact that it looks like text speak and people will make assumptions just from that about the child - CRATE - what sort of name is Crate? Is there a family preference for storage containers when naming their children? Is there a little Zplkbggi on the cards perhaps?

**Trillian** · October 2nd, 2011, 01:22 PM

Well it had to happen sooner or later! Someone has finally taken an already ****ed up name and ****ed it up even more by getting creative with the spelling LOL

**Agape** · October 3rd, 2011, 12:36 PM

You're right, that's really bad. What were they thinking!

**LionsandBears** · October 3rd, 2011, 12:53 PM

I seem to offend people every time one of these threads comes up and I state my opinion about choice of names, spelling, the relationship to the socio-economic status of the family and future criminality of the weirdly named children....so I won't say a thing, even though studies have proven crap like this is damaging......

**MummyNaomi** · October 3rd, 2011, 01:30 PM

WTF?? - people are just ****ers - seriously!!

**kelsbels** · October 3rd, 2011, 02:19 PM

Wow I love the name Dash, had never thought of spelling it '-'

Lol, wonder if I'd get away with that!?!?

(I seriously love the name dash but would never dream of spelling it with a hyphen!!!)

**forshelby** · October 3rd, 2011, 02:19 PM

what the?!

And they get upset at people saying it incorrectly?! That's just ridiculous! You can't honestly expect people to verbalize a punctuation mark,..... Can you?!

Of course they can, exclaimation mark period smiley face
bahahahaha.

crazies!

Right, I can't find the longer bad name thread that I was looking for so I'm going to revive this one instead with a name I just came across...

Tru' Jordan Lei'Xan. Lei'Xan is pronounced LeShawn.
