How do YOU spell.....

[Bathsheba]

I'd spell it Zachary and Zach. But I totally empathsise with a lifetime of having your name spelt incorrectly... very few people get my name right... but it doesn't bother me that much... only when family get it wrong too!!! No doubt all my kids will have theirs spelt wrong too... but it won't worry me overly... many people are actually dyslexic and/or simply can't spell... it's not intentional so i don't take offence.

Aw thanks Mel...LOL

I honestly didnt think id have this problem with his name...how wrong was i!

i would spell it Zachary, and probably Zac.

the thing is, if its a stranger spelling the name, they will spell it however.. if it were family/friends/school etc they SHOULD spell it correctly, because they know how it should be spelt.

i get the oddest spelling of Krystal sometimes!! i understand the C or K, but Christell, Cristal, Krystall... and this is family and friends!! argh!

Yep, Zachary and Zach here too...sorry Kim!!

[~breeze~]

I would spell it Zachary & Zach. BUT you have named him ZachEry & thats fine hun. The people close to him will (hopefully!) know how to spell HIS name. Thats the main thing in my opinion... if family spell it wrong & continue to do so... well thats just rude IMO

Dont worry hun, these days most people have problems spelling any name because they always expect a "twist" to the spelling (eg- Jason changed to Jayson... thats just an example, no offense intended if there are any Jaysons here on BB)
