Name: Colette
If I were to guess how this name would be misspelled, it would not be this way.
Cole? Maybe.
Colleen? Maybe.
Clay? No way.

Fail #27. Culprit: La-Z-Boy
Name: Cali
If you are familiar with the Spanish pronunciation and meaning, you'll find it funny.
Fail #26. Culprit: Wing Stop
Name: Cassie
Yup, it's me again.
I can almost write a book on the different ways to spell my name.

Fail #25. Culprit: Starbucks
Name: Kasey
If were to guess how this name was misspelled I would say "Casey"
Close.
I think people who are named K/Casey often get called Cassie.
People who are named Cassie often get called Casey.
We just can't win.

Fail #22. Culprit: Starbucks
All the names together (plus Gretchien, er Gretchen).
Name: Alicia
uh-lee-shuh
fuh-lee-shuh
See the difference?
Fail #21. Culprit: Starbucks
Name: Cassie
Another Cassie submitted this to me.
I don't know how this could even happen.
Fail #20. Culprit: Starbucks
Name: Phoebe
Phoebe is difficult to spell.
But, it still makes me giggle.
Fail #19. Culprit: Albertson's
Name: Jesse
When the cake was first picked up it said "Happy Birthday Tesse"
The buyer of the cake asked them to fix it.
This is what she got.

Fail #18. Culprit: Starbucks
Name: Alex
Alex is a boy.
Alison means "Son of a Noble Boy"*, so it is a name that can be male.
But Alex does not sound like Alison.
At all.

Fail #17. Culprit: Starbucks
Name: Trevyn
You'd think the person would have spelled it Trevin.
Nope, he was called Trevor.
Fail #16. Culprit: Starbucks
Name: Michelle
Michelle seems like one of those names that you have to try to misspell.
I guess this person has never met a Michelle.
Mishel...really?

Fail #14. Culprit: Starbucks
Name: Cassie
I went to two different coffee houses today, and they both called me Casey.
Starbucks, however, got creative with the spelling.

Fail #12. Culprit: Starbucks
Name: Cali
There are many variants of this name, so it is understandable to spell it wrong.
But, Caroline and Cali are two totally different names.

Fail #11. Culprit: Starbucks
Name: Leonardo
What gave 'bucks the right to shorten this mans name?
I guess they figured he needed a nickname.
Fail #10. Culprit: Starbucks
Name: Tiara
Sometimes I think the employees only listen to the first or last part of the name.
Not the whole darn thing.
Whyyyy?

Fail #8. Culprit: McDonalds
Name: Travis
I never thought this would be a difficult name to spell.
It's pretty standard right?
Wrong.
Fail #7. Culprit: Starbucks
Name: Tenzing
I realize that Tenzing is a difficult name to spell, honestly.
But was Starbucks even listening?

Fail #6. Culprit: Starbucks
Name: Lauren
The one on the left looks like the person got lazy, but you get what name it is. The one of the right? I don't even know what is happening.
Fail #4. Culprit: Starbucks
Name: Cassie (yes, I go to Starbucks way too often)
Okay, this looks like an alternative spelling to my name, so it's close enough, right? Wrong. She got it wrong and I even spelled my name for her. Yes, I spelled it out.

Fail #3. Culprit: Starbucks
Name: Tiara (pronounced: tee-air-uh)
Pretty standard right? Like the crown (pronounced tee-are-uh).
But no. Not easy enough.
This little gem was spelled Tiena...or is it Tiera...or is it Tievia?
Fail #2. Culprit: Starbucks
Name: Cassie
Well, we're getting a little closer. But remember...KAS-ee, not KAS-id-ee.
