Bad Bad name

[Trillian]

I have a distant family member (mum's cousin's grandson, something like that) named Harley, whose father is named David. So he's Harley, David's son

That's a cool play on words!

I so could've called DS Jesse James. Name is Jesse, fave uncle of mine is James. But too far for me. Used uncle's middle name instead

I do know a S ummer S torme. And I think like it...

Just noticed in the newspaper the other day that a footballer has called his daughter

Came across a Haidee today (Heidi)

[Dollyroux]

I had seen that before and always pronounced it in my head as "hey-dee".

[AnyDream]

That's weird. I thought Heidi was pronounced high-dee

[~clover~]

I know a Heidi (hi dee) & a Haydee. Pronounced as you'd expect. Why do people insist on messing with spelling rules?

[Raupe]

Yep, Heidi is pronounced high-dee. Think Heidi Klum.

[phebee]

Did anyone else think "Hades"?

There's a girl on Toddlers and Tiaras called Rainbow Dash.

You mean it's not "Rainbow-" ?

[turtledove]

I know of a Maori guy named "W i l l i a m." He usually goes by "W i l l y".

Which would be ok, except his surname is "W o k k a".

(Not that I think a grown man should be called w illy, but that's a matter of opinion)

[Amity]

Today's best version was Cookie.

Yep. Cookie.

[Doing my best]

I just saw an educator at my ds's kindy spelt kymbelea.. Maybe I am struggling cause I love the name (it is my dd's name), just not the spelling (dd has one of the common spelt versions).

Honestly, it took me a few moments to work out how to pronounce it.

My uncle in law is Cookie - but his surname is Cook (as opposed to being named after baked goods, or the dude in A Country Practice".

Could it be that?

If not
