I've never come across IRL or otherwise a misspelled/unique name EVER - until now. I've seen plenty of names in EB's weird name threads, but never seen anything abnormal in my day to day life. Till now.

Browsing the paper and I see this:

Chel-c.

No kidding. And here is the link should anyone doubt it!!

Yikes! That poor child will need to spell her name out every single time. "It's Chelsea, but with a dash and just a c".

I'm kinda shocked!

I reckon people are daring each other with serious amounts of cash for some of these names.

Poor Girl

poor child!

That is so sad Do they pronounce it Cheldashcee lol

Noice.

I was wondering the same thing.

Poor kid. What were they thinking???

My goodness! That poor child. I actually know someone whose child is Tai-la...

Excellent!

I think we should all re-jig the spelling of our names and our kid's names. Throw in some random letters, add a dash or two. It will make us all that little bit more individual and unusual.
