HelpRe: Aveline : pronunciation issues for life?
in reply to a message by Lilibet
Laura had issues with her own name, that's all. Everyone gets teased for their name at some point. Some people won't like their name, some will love it. You can't predict or control for everything, no name is perfect. Not everyone with a given name is going to have the same issues with it as other people with the same name.
With all the unique names out there these days tons of people have spelling problems. even people with common names get their name misspelled regularly. People just don't pay much attention if it's not their own name. In the distant past, spelling was not important. As long as it was understood who you were talking about, it was good.
Of your names, I'd say Madeleine would have the most issues. There's more than one way to pronounce it, it's long & with multiple spellings. Thea would have the least issues, but I'm sure someone would inevitably spell it Thaya or something. :P
