I can't think of any spellings I've seen lately that I particularly dislike more than usual, but I used to have a friend named "Aja". It was pronounced like the continent "Asia". I was always jealous of her having a unique name, and she always wished she had a plain name like me.
By the way, I'm in favor of the $100 fine for any extra 'y' in a name, so long as we outlaw any name that have both a 'sh' and a 'qu' in them. Example: Shaniqua, Shaquyla, Shaquanda, Shaquieta, Shaquila, Shaquandra... Now those names get on my nerves!

•It's a deal- so who gets the money from these fines....? · 'Cole · 9/16/2001, 1:24 PM

•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

•Ah, yes. Or maybe $1000 fines for every girl named Mackenzie... · Lilith · 9/16/2001, 4:19 PM
