don't get mad at people for spelling your child's name wrong when YOU spell it totally wrong or out of whack (like the case of the girl i know who named her daughter Destiny Champane... or the spelling Ahmelya instead of Amelia), or get mad at people for pronouncing it wrong when you have spelled it in such a way that it looks NOTHING like it is pronounced!

cases i saw today: Kristie pronounced like Keer-stie... Laylah pronounced as Lie-lah... Briandan pronounced as Bran-don.

btw BRIANDAN? the kid is like 15-16 yrs old.

I think that Kristie is a normal name. It would never occur to me to pronounce it "Keer-stee"..
