idk what that's supposed to mean @Ken

 

Maybe it's just me, but it seems to be spelled the way people are pronouncing it. I see Kat and I think: pronounce that like a kit-"kat" bar. Or Kat as in short for Kathryn. No offense intended to you or your friend, obviously!

 

ohhhh gotcha. no offense taken, i just didn't know what the emojis meant or implied lol.

funny because she's had basically that EXACT conversation with her parents. "people pronounce as it looks. you named me a fucking cat because you 'liked the different spelling' or didn't know how to actually spell my name or spell 'cat' and now no one will ever pronounce my name right, thanks you two."

 

I feel so bad for her! I would be pissed at my parents too

 

My sister insisted on giving my nephews name a different spelling and imo it's not phonetically intuitive. As someone whose name gets mispronounced a lot, idk why ppl would do that intentionally! Obv not including names from different languages and cultures ppl are too lazy to learn

 

My name is James but people always pronounce it “dumbass”

 

Okay dumbass dog

 

My wife was kinda annoyed when we got married and she changed her name, she switched from a name that's never mispronounced but often misspelled (Elliott) to a name that's never misspelled but often mispronounced (Searcy).

It's pronounced like GOT apparently

 

I was going to say, is it like "Cersei"?

 

@ComedownMachine

 

I've never seen GOT but you wouldn't believe how many comments we get about it.

 

How is it actually pronounced?

 

colby sir "this is a wendy's", see?

 

How bad should I feel for naming my daughter Aeryn

 

As a former preschool teacher I feel I can judge names freely. On a scale of 1-10, 10 being the most annoying I'd rate it like a 3. Different but still phonetical enough to pronounce and quickly learn to spell. Unless the class also has an Erin and an Aaron, in which case they are all rated 10

 

I can only read

 

How do you think it's pronounced?

 

It is indeed

 

My wife’s name is Siobhain, which is a different spelling for an already unusual name, so when we had kids she made sure that they would have simple names that are impossible for people to mess up

 

Searcy

 

He can only read

 

Thank you

 

yo

 

Can u guess what I watched yesterday
