Seen on the evening news:

Honibea, prn. Honeybee.

Yikes.

I would have never thought it'd be prn Honeybee :\
If I didn't know, I'd say: honey-bee-ah

Whew. I read it as "ho-nay-beea" and didn't connect it to the word at all. So it's bad on at least three counts: (1) terrible spelling that makes it (2) difficult to pronounce correctly and (3) do I need to explain the third way it's bad?

I read that as ho NIB e uh. That's just bad.

I'm the crazy who likes "bumblebee" as a potential middle name and even I think that's fucking awful.

Gross.

ahah well, it's subtle enough for me, so I'm gonna give it a yeah :D
It makes me want to pronounce it Hoe-nee-BAY-ah, though, like I would in italian and as it were, I don't know, Hawaiian?

I'm glad you put the pronunciation, because that's not what I would've come up with. Ho-nay-bee-a. Man, that is a stupid...spelling. Maybe, somewhere, Honeybee could've been salvaged as a middle name.

Ugh... okay. As a Melissa (which means "honey bee"), I think I am morally and ethically opposed to that.

as a not-melissa, i am morally and ethically opposed to that... ;]
