HelpRe: We talk about the slaughter of spellings, what about pronunciations?
in reply to a message by Ceridwen
This happened to me all the time when I was younger and I still have people ask me about pronunciation. Granted, my name is a misspelling, Madyson, but for chrissake it's only one letter difference. In elementary school I'd always hear mad-EE-son or ma-DIE-son and it still comes up as I have to wear a nametag at the place I work. I always responding, "No no, it's just MAD-i-son, (like you've heard a million times before)"

I'd assume your name was MAD-i-son, but I wouldn't be sure. I'd wonder if your parents were trying to go for a different pronunciation because of the different spelling. Like they were trying to emphasize the middle syllable by making it a y instead of an i.
