Hooray for hot water, sara!!
Faith: A kid. Angel's got a kid. Wesley: Connor. Faith: A teenage kid born last year. Wesley: I told you, he grew up in a hell dimension. Faith: Right. And what, Cordelia spent her last summer as… Wesley: A divine being. Faith: Uh-huh. Can I just ask--What the hell are you people doing?

My name, okay my names, get misspelled all the time, but I know my first name is a variant spelling, and my last name is, uh, I guess it is just confusing.
But I really thought I gave my kids normal names with traditional spellings. Turns out nobody can spell their names correctly either. Oops. Sorry pups, didn't mean to do that to you.

Sometimes I get Jenn instead of Jen, but mostly I go by Jennifer, so it's not usually an issue. I guess there are alternate spellings, but people don't seem to use them much. My last name on the other hand is the less common spelling of a moderately common name.
Hot water, yay!

Nobody can spell anything, is the thing.

I know my last name is a bear, but I do wonder at the number of people who ask me to spell Ginger even after I say, "Like gingerale or gingerbread."

I may need to reserve this as a future tag. Can I, huh?
I can't work out what to blame, and without blame I can get no closure.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Thankyew. It's a hard line to draw, but please don't name your daughter Vujyna. Or your son. But even if she's called Catherine (most popular name at my British high school) she'll get it spelt wrong, and she'll be teased about something.
I went to school with a Wilsome and a Novelette. Never spelt their names wrong. And no one teased them. They were huge.
So maybe that's the key to success.
eta: JenP, was that me? If so, yes. If not, well, go ahead it's the board's birthday--it got you something nice!

I wonder... if my name were really Megan Walker, how often would I have to spell it?

Megan, all the time. Walker, possibly less often. Possibly.
