Scary spellings

It's really disturbing to come across people who claim to have named their children Myshell, Lynndah, Mykoll, Clayrysse, etc. I, personally, think that people should be fined $100 for every added 'y' in a name, but that's another story...

Anyway, while not all unique-er spellings are horrible, many of them are. What are the worst ones people have come across? Also, has anyone found any unique spellings that they actually like?

•Hm...good question. · Lilith · 9/16/2001, 2:55 PM

•Sounds good to me. But "The Godfather" (Mike C) is going to expect his percentage from everyone's cut, you realize... · Nanaea · 9/16/2001, 3:14 PM

•Mike C would be classified as an underpaid etymologist... · 'Cole · 9/16/2001, 4:30 PM

•The correct word would be 'unpaid' :P · Mike C · 9/17/2001, 1:49 AM
