+355 Naming your kid "Rabtehgl" and pronouncing it "Rachel" just condemns your kid to a life of explaining how to pronounce their name and possibly being made fun of, not a life of "Your so unique," amirite?

You mean phoebe? Because that is the original spelling, isn't it?

Sure is. I don't know why the users above are acting like they've never seen it before.

I was kind of kidding, but okay. There's someone in my school district named "Ladasha" spelled "La-A." No joke.

Yeah. She doesn't go to my school, but she played basketball, and the back of her sweatshirt said "La-A" I didn't know what the hell it was until I heard some of her teammates pronounce it.

If it was on the back of her sweatshirt, it's probably because she saw it on the internet and thought it was witty, so she decided to put it on as a nickname.

It's on the internet? I feel like a dumbass now...

Even the occasional normal name screws me up. Siobhan? Sinead? Those two kinda threw me off the first time I saw them.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

how do you pronounce those two?!

by Anonymous 13 years ago

siobhan-pronounced shivawn. Sinead-pronounced shinade They are classic Gaelic names, so they are hundreds of years old and people didnt just make them up to be different I think they are beautiful names tho

by Anonymous 13 years ago

They are beautiful names, but still uncommon. I have two friends, sisters, named Siobhan and Sinead. They love their names.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Siobhán and Sinéad are both Irish, so they're fairly common over here :)

*you're

No, it's your.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

No.You're unique. as in you are unique. Your unique means ownership of 'unique' which makes no sense.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

by Anonymous 13 years ago

That's ok.I must apologize because I really didnt have any reason to do that, except for it bothered me.
