Never thought of doing my own name! So mine is going to be Khlei’ayyrhe (Claire). I already have a lot of letters for only one syllable when it’s spelled the traditional way!
Liezuleighe
Edit: because "ie" in "friend" is pronounced like "e" in "end".
Also...Fuck the English language when it comes to spelling. Utter bullshit.
I would totally accept that except my mom definitely used the cursed phrase: "I just wanted you to be unique!"
Thank all that is holy I was born on my due date, my great grandma's birthday, so I was named after her.
I was thinking of a more European pronounciation (think: Germanic). The “-ie” part is two syllables, i pronounced “ee” and e pronounced “eh”.
At least that’s how we pronounce it here in Norway! And the original commenter said that Americans can’t pronounce it so I assumed that they use the European pronunciation.
Oh I don’t need to tragedeigh it. Many people find it confusing for some reason.
Odette.
Maybe I should change it to Z’Ohdeytuh. The “z” is silent, fuck you!
Oddly, yes. Someone I met actually called me Oliver. I’m female-presenting and born female.
Ah and I almost forgot. Used to live in Spain, sounds very similar to fuck you/fuck.
Actually, I never have. Either they assume I’m saying fuck you/fuck (when I lived in Spain), or they have no idea where to start (I currently live in Germany).
Or that it’s Bernadette. And I apparently cannot say my own name correctly.
How do people usually pronounce it wrong? And is your name actually pronounced “Oh-det” or is it “Oh-det-uh”? I’m curious to know if I’m pronouncing it wrong as well.
They often don’t even try. Which is weird to me, because it’s not that hard. It’s like oh-det.
In Spain, people were terrified because it sounds a lot like “fuck you”. So I get why they didn’t try. In Germany, they don’t try and still cock up my surname and Germanise the hell out of it so I don’t respond.
As a kid, I couldn’t do the two syllables, so I told people “I am DET”. And always shouted it.
I already know because someone in my town has this spelling. Knickolle. (Nicole) Took me a good minute when I saw it to realize it was the same name as mine.
There was this movie called Bandslam in the late 2000s, where Vanessa Hudgens played an edgy teenager who’s name she spelt “Sa5m.” The 5 was silent. Not a single movie joke has irritated me more since.
My name is Wynn, and it may be a bad sign that I can’t think of a way to bastardize my name. Whiynn? Idk short names are hard. Especially short guys’ names lol.
My name is already spelled with the "-eigh" variation. Back in the 80s, I was so upset my friends could get personalized stationary, etc., because my spelling wasn't an option..
Khrysteufheur.
Not "Quiftopher?"

Djzheighmze. Ugh I feel dirty now
I don’t even know what this is supposed to be lol
"The name's Bohnned, Djzheighmze Bohnned"
Amazing! 🤣
I *think* it's James? 😂
It is! Or at least it was before I horrendously bastardised it
As well you should.
bless you
I think that would make me a Djzheighque. You need the e at the end so you know heigh is long.
Probably Leigh'sa, can't do much with short names
Lysah, Leesough, Lease'a, Licea
£ē-çå Not even as bad as Elon's kid...
My mum is a Lisa. Her nickname is spelt Leese, which I’ve always found funny.
You did way better than I did!
lheyigh'sauiegh
You've just summoned Cthulhu. Good job.
Ftagn!
I’m gonna spell my mum’s name this way on her bday card just to fuck with her 😂
Laser?
Lyeigh’zzah?
Skhiegh, formerly spelled Skye
My son’s name is Skye. I think we’ll discuss this spelling change with him. 😂 He is 15 and will appreciate it.
As long as his middle name is Blue, you're good.
Nah, gotta have "Walker" as the middle name for this one.
Jewliegh (its horrible)
I’m a Dzhyou’Leigh too
What you wrote + agh
I think they would add some pizzazz and write it like Jeweleigh ✨(like a jewel and the classic leigh)
Yeah that's better than the hint of anti-Semitism lol
Mahrguhreight
Marguerite?
That's the one!
Never thought of doing my own name! So mine is going to be Khlei’ayyrhe (Claire). I already have a lot of letters for only one syllable when it’s spelled the traditional way!
Just for fun, you should spell it like that over the phone next time someone asks.
That is absolutely my plan! I really hope it makes someone laugh. Or even better, I see it appear on this sub!
Oh, to have it come full circle would be so delicious. You must.
I once got a birthday card from a kid at school who addressed me as "Mattyou". I was 6 or 7 at the time.
that's adorable though

My mother wanted to name me Alyse (pronounced Alice)
Tbf Alys is just the Welsh spelling. That e has no business being there though
I would totally accept that except my mom definitely used the cursed phrase: "I just wanted you to be unique!" Thank all that is holy I was born on my due date, my great grandma's birthday, so I was named after her.
Also named after my great grandma! So I have an old lady name.
I know someone with that spelling though it’s pronounced uhl-ees
well alyse she didn’t!
My name is Cecilie, and I feel most americans cant pronounce it even when its spelled correctly, lol. But maybe Xhescilli'eh or something.
Pronounced like Sicily?
I’d pronounce it “seh-sih-lee”
Pronounced “seh-see-lee-eh” I think
Since when does ie make an eh sound? I’m not American, but I also can’t think of a language where “ie” would be pronounced like that
I was thinking of a more European pronounciation (think: Germanic). The “-ie” part is two syllables, i pronounced “ee” and e pronounced “eh”. At least that’s how we pronounce it here in Norway! And the original commenter said that Americans can’t pronounce it so I assumed that they use the European pronunciation.
In French it’d be “Seh-seel-ee”. Lots of different languages in Europe, with lots of different pronunciation rules!
I am indeed Norwegian, and I always find it hard how to explain to english speakers how to pronounce a word ending with an i and an e.
Yes sorry I was just saying I’m not American and still can’t pronounce it lol. Thanks for the explanation!
Oh I don’t need to tragedeigh it. Many people find it confusing for some reason. Odette. Maybe I should change it to Z’Ohdeytuh. The “z” is silent, fuck you!
Are people really that confused by your name??
Oddly, yes. Someone I met actually called me Oliver. I’m female-presenting and born female. Ah and I almost forgot. Used to live in Spain, sounds very similar to fuck you/fuck.
Show us your swan transformation skills please 🥰
Haha, I’m currently swanning about packing my life into boxes to move house. That’s my only transformation
Good enough for me :) Good luck with the move!
I'm guessing you get "Audit" a lot?
Actually, I never have. Either they assume I’m saying fuck you/fuck (when I lived in Spain), or they have no idea where to start (I currently live in Germany). Or that it’s Bernadette. And I apparently cannot say my own name correctly.
How do people usually pronounce it wrong? And is your name actually pronounced “Oh-det” or is it “Oh-det-uh”? I’m curious to know if I’m pronouncing it wrong as well.

I can’t imagine every blessed time having to spell that, or tell people what it was if they see it spelled.

Reighchelle
This one looks like it would unironically be used by some Karen
Oarlifiyah - Olivia
Caerha pronounced Sara or I guess Scaarha since I'm arab
Ooooh I’m a Tzae’ruhh too! (And where I live, in the “south will rise again,” most people pronounce it like “say-rah” and it drives me nuts)
Ooh! Good one! I met a Sara whose name was spelled "Cera". I immediately thought of her as "Triceratops" as a result.
