when they gave their daughter the name ALYXZANDRIA.

I saw this name in the paper a couple of days ago - it was actually the week before lasts Sunday paper but I hadn't gotten around to reading it until this Sunday.

Not only does it have a superfluous Z but also the ever ewneeke Y too. - Classy.

Treena, mummy to Ehlarnah Grayse and Allyse Jo Margret

Why

Thats probably the all time worst Kr8tve spelling I have ever seen.

Oh dear

Right there is a lifetime of spelling your name out

Bugger, to think I could have called my son ALYXZ rather than the boring old Alex he has now.

I'm just waiting for the day that we get an LX or an LXANDRIA.

WOW that is some name - I am all for wanting unique names, but surely the child could individualise a name enough without having to misspell it so extraordinarily bad As battingeyelashes said a lifetime of having to spell out the name

Noice

We had a recent one in the local paper.

Dahkoda

Now that iz speshel

definately unique

I am all for individuality but that is just silly

Got in trouble of a mama once for spelling her son's name as "James" - "No. It's J A Y M Z."

See, that's why I should be Prime Minister - I'd make creative spelling illegal!

OMG it took me a couple of goes before I saw a name in that mess!

I know someone who is nearly 50 who is a 'Jaymz'.

I saw that too and thought exactly the same thing!

Another pearler from our local paper just this morning.

IZAC

I just read twin names in the Herald Sun today...

Malakyie Christopher and
Tia Maree

I just want to get out the footy franks and the Tia Maria - Noice

I saw that too and shuddered and thought "Why????" Such a beautiful name so horribly mutilated in the spelling.

brilliant way to torment your chld for life

Who ever thought the baby names section in a newspaper could be so entertaining!

I remember a pearler from our local - Khandyce.

when i first looked at it I thought someone had given their child the last part of the alphabet as a name

Poor child wont be able to spell their name 'til they're in year 4!!

Wow. I sometimes wonder if occasionaly mothers are still feeling the effects of birthing drugs when naming their children. Some of the names mentioned here are just bizarre.

I know a boy named Terrance but the mother spelt it

teryans

And another who called their son Alex- and spelt it LX

Yet another one Josiah- spelt Jessyah

And my list goes on.

I can't talk though I give my children names that no one seems to be able to pronounce.

is that like ipod or iphone lol

Each to their own.....what a mouthful

oh dont get me started lol I HATE stupidly spelt names!!!

My mum used to teach a boy called Alekzarndah. I kid you not! That was BEFORE creative spelling was fashionable lol.

Apparently the mum didn't want it to get pronounced as alek-zan-der, so she was quite specific in her spelling so it was alek-ZARN-dah. lol

I also know a child at Playgroup whose name is Desterney, but I think it actually might be because the parents didn't know how to spell it
