Names and some crazy spellings

My brother's name is Devin. We used to get a pencil that said "Kevin" and scratched it out to make the K into a D. I'm not sure what name would work for Cole.

Oh. huh. I don't watch MLB so I would've never known.

The only advantage I know of to having a misspelled name is that you usually get to use it, or close to it, as a username. Otherwise it's a major pain -- especially if it's also a unisex name that is close to another common name. Then people who read it pronounce it wrong and people who hear it spell it wrong. It's just a major hassle, and parents who do that to their kids should be creatively and uniquely punished.

Just out of curiousity, is your name Devyn?

Yeah, and how is it pronounced? "Divine"?

I have friends that had a son and names him Aaron but it is spelled Ehren. Dipshits.

I can tolerate people doing this, using unique spellings and messing with peoples heads.. But as soon as someone names their kid Baub or Bahb, I'm gonna drop a nuke in the heartland.

I will not tolerate the bastardization of Bob.

And is it just me, or is every girl below the age of 4 named Bailey, Madison or Mckenzie?

Just call me Crap for short.

When I have a kid, I will name my child a normal name but put 12 consonants that are all silent in front of it.

My friend teaches in NYC. She has a student this year whose name is pronounced, 'shi-TAY-ed'.

Swear to God, the name tag on his desk reads: Shithead.

Can you repeat that? My bullshit meter exploded and I didn't hear what you said.
