I named my son Jaxin because my wife wanted Jax and I didn't want my son to have a dog's name.

I regret not just naming him Jackson because nobody in Taiwan knows how to pronounce Jaxin.

JaXin would, I believe, be a normal Chinese name - but pronounced quite differently!

Hate to pile on, but could have done Jackson and then called him Jax for short just as easily. Hell Dick is short for Richard, short names don't have to be spelled the same.

The guiness book of records had an entry for the worst spelling in the old days before the book was dumbed down. Trying to spell 'usage' the incorrect attempt was youzitch achieving only one correct letter.

Does using French count? Then I nominate "eau". Impressive 300% bloat, 0 correct letters.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

I present to you the plural : eaux 400% bloat still 0correct letters

There's a girl in my kid's class named Eighmee. Pronounced "Amy". I thought it was weird but there's a street in a neighboring town named Eighmee Street.

I once met a girl called Xinhergi

Who thrived on late-night energy.

She’d moan and she’d grind,

With a very keen mind

For positions defying liturgy.

"Breighdone" (Brayden) is probably the most egregious one I haven't brain-bleached yet.

My friend works in the billing department of a local hospital, and she will occasionally text me some crazy spellings she comes across.

Not so much the spelling, just... I went to school with a girl who's father fled the law and they ended up near us in Canada... they were originally from a trailer park in Tennessee

Her name was "Dollarina"

T'Fanny for Tiffany. She's about 30 now, so that was a bad decision from a long time ago.

T'Fanny sounds like the name of a Vulcan stripper lol.
