Name Fails

Wednesday, November 9, 2011

Name: Phoebe

Phoebe is difficult to spell.

But, it still makes me giggle.

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.

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.

Name: Trevyn

You'd think the person would have spelled it Trevin.

Nope, he was called Trevor.

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?

Name: Louisa

Louise, Louisa...Luis...Luisa?

Name: Cassie

I went to two different coffee houses today, and they both called me Casey.

Starbucks, however, got creative with the spelling.
