Oh man i've lived with this my entire life. I swear to god my first sheet of paper i got in kindergarten had "Colton" on it.


Its always "Colton" "Coltin" "Colten" "Kolton" "Kolten" "Koltin" Mostly just "Colton" though. I had like three sheets of papers teachers assigned to me today under "Colton"

I guess i've kind of gotten used to it. Though my name is spelled "Coltyn"

Also, did anyone get so accustomed to the misspelling, you actually wrote your name like that :shock:

That happened once :shock:

Yes! My name is Allison and people usually leave out the second L, or just call me Alice. Apparently, those people just shutted out the son part. My nickname is the same way. One time someone wrote... Meenako.

Slightly, everyone always spells it wrong, so I eventually just accepted the fact that 80% of the people I meet will never be able to properly spell my name :cry:

I don't actually have that problem, but that that nobody seems to REMEMBER my name.

Having a name April, many of people seem to have a liking to call me with "June" "December" or with some other month's name. Haha. Very funny.

I sometimes forget to put the "r" at the end of my last name. So my last name ends up being a city in Italy. :P

My first name is common, and I never need to assist people with spelling it right if they happen to write it down. My last name isn't hard to spell either, but I always have to help people with getting it right because my last name sounds closely to another last name, and sometimes people confuse the two.

Sometimes. People will ask me if it's with a K usually. But sometimes they'll ask me if there's an O in it.

People need to stop with the variation of the same name.

It still sounds the same, so I don't see the point.

And yes, I do get tired of it, only because from what I know, "Donovan" only has one spelling that people use

And sometimes its just ridiculous.

This girl in a class of mine knew a girl whose name was phonetically pronounced as ladasha. But in the spelling, there is actually a hyphen. I kid you not.

I see what you did there. /read that two days ago on the interwebs somewhere.

My name is spelled Chantel, but I always get Chantal, Chantelle, Chantalle, Shantel, Shental even. When I was a kid I had a best friend named Chantal with an A, and we went to the same preschool. We always got each other's "work" back.

My surname's English. I've been called Emma French, Emma German, Emma Spanish etc. I don't see why the chavs thought they were clever for working out my surname was a language and applying others in its place. Whenever someone shouted that at me in secondary school I was always like "Wow well done! I seriously haven't ever heard that one before" :roll:

It got to the point where I was going to change my surname to my mum's maiden name as she'd gone back to Edwards and me and my brother were still English. However I'm now glad I didn't because all my mates in 6th form think my name's really cool and I've even met a girl called Becky French! :D
