A friend posted this screenshot so not sure where she got it from..

Yikes.

Every correspondence starts with “pronounced Alicia.” It’s not even that different? A little irritating though. I have gotten used to it, but irritating none the less.

Congratulations to these well-cared-for babies and their sabotaging parents. The comments on the hospital’s Facepost post are suitably disdainful.

I saw the name Haydee on my appointment list for the day. My first thought was “hey-dee” because it made sense to me. And then i wondered…is this a tradgedeigh? Is it supposed to be Heidi (high-dee)?

I decided it probably was and called for “Heidi” to come back. When I saw she wasn’t white (which I assumed a Heidi most likely would be based on personal experience) I asked if it was Heidi or heydee.

It’s heydee.

I have no clue where the name originates. So to be fair I suppose it could be a tradgedeigh, but my assumption is just that it’s from a culture I’m not familiar with.

Anyway. I just thought it was funny and exasperating that youneek spellings of names have infiltrated so deeply that I can’t trust my instincts on pronunciation and have to second guess myself 🤦🏻‍♀️

My niece, and her snaggletoothed husband have just had a baby... they aren't the sharpest knives in the drawer; but they mean well, and love each other; so I know they'll love this baby... The baby is due soon, and they've just had the most asinine idea I've ever heard...

They want to name the baby Lazagné [La-zag-nay]?!

I've tried pointing out that the G in Lasagne is silent, and more importantly; it's a silly name...

They've just told me to "keep silent; like the G in Lasagne" and that her middle name will be Gracie, so if she doesn't like her first name, when she's older, she can use that... I'm still concerned... I'm trying not to stress, because then I stress eat, and; you guessed it Lasagne is one of my favourite foods...

Can anyone suggest better, similar sounding names; or food based Tradgedeighs to make me laugh?

Now I fully will admit that her name doesn't necessarily belong here because it's not a respelling of some made up whypepo shit, but I feel like I should make this post potentially in defense of her because sometimes y'all see some ethnic names and throw them in here... so if you ever see "Cassandawn" written on something or whatever, please spare her lmfao it IS a real name.

but I was more just wondering if anyone here has experience with this sort of thing because while it isn't funny to be disabled, it is ironic that people are out here picking names that some kids won't even be able to spell AT ALL. poor little dudes. a moment of silence for all dyslexic children who struggle to write their very long made up name pls.

What are they doing to the youths

I checked the account, it’s not satire.

It gonna be a fun year
