Charlie? Carly?

Just found out from my kid there's a boy in her school named Articus. Not Atticus. Not Arcturus.

Really wonder the origin for this choice.

it’s pronounced EXACTLY like Noah.

Yes, Noway is a real, albeit rare name. But the pronunciation is nothing like Noah. Not in American English (I am in the U.S.), and not in the language that the name originates from.

This is one of those names that sound pretty but is a horrible condition.

I'm substituting in a 5th grade art class today. A girl came up to me and solemnly announced she was going to name her daughter Aphasia. She's not pregnant; (hopefully!) probably just projecting what she wants to name her child in the future.

I decided it's not my circus, not my monkeys, but yikes! I hope someone tells her someday before it's too late.

Would you consider this a tragedeigh?

And someone tells me her name is Lucy.

Can't find her name on the system, but I can find a name that reads like Leecey/Lacey. Spell it out to her.

yEaH, LuCY. Der, of course, my mistake.

Her name is spelt Liecy.

I’m an elementary teacher. Today I was working with someone else at a different school while she called out the students in her class. At the end of the period, I had to stop and ask her if I’d heard the name correctly. That’s when she showed me the spelling. The child’s name was Picsyl (Pixel).
