That's not a real name!

[viggy]

A charity advert had a care worker called Char.let.

[H1ppychick]

there's someone on my working group Teams call who is listed as St.alin A

I've just undertaken a little light stalking of a school mum after being sent a link by a friend. Her two youngest children are called Pebbles and Snow.

Surely they're dogs names?

[Tabitha]

Pebbles is a Flintstone.

[Kleio]

She certainly was. I can't imagine it on a 30 year old woman though.

[Ella77]

After Lily Pebbles, maybe? Ugh.

Usain Bolt and his girlfriend have twins ... Thunder and Saint Leo!

[Livilla]

St Leo is his (Usain’s I mean) middle name, but …. Thunder Bolt.

The papers this morning are reporting that although the the Duke and Duchess of Sussex wanted their son to have a title they decided not to style him as Lord Dumbarton (available to them as Harry is also the Earl of Dumbarton) because it has “Dumb” in it.

My friend’s mum has just posted congratulations on FB about another of her children’s new baby - Besty. I presumed a typo but nobody else has corrected it or referred to a Betsy.

[speedy gonzalez]

I knew someone who knew someone who was a registrar and she wasn't never sure to ask whether some of the names were a spelling mistake or not in case some parents became massively offended!

[wendy james]

A cashier in Lakeland recently commented on somebody’s error in spelling my first name but it was correct.

yeah, that’s a tabloid invention.

Mah bestie and your bestie, sitting by the fire I really hope it’s a typo! Though, I was at school
With a boy called Micheal; I never underestimate the stupidity of people.

[Rosa]

I work with a Micheal. I think it's a real name and not a misspelling.

[Derek Nimmo]

It's the gaelic version of Michael isn't it?

[sally maclennane]

Yeah, its an Irish name.

[rosy]

The Micheal I was at school with was London born and bred; his parents just got the spelling wrong.

[smalex]

They might have had an Irish Uncle Micheal he was named after or something though? I'm not sure you can say someone got the spelling wrong if they've spelt it an accepted way.

[sally maclennane]

I guess it depends how they pronounced it, the Irish name is Mee-hall rather than Mike-il.
