my mom works in a Catholic goods store, so people often come in to buy cards or medals of the same saints as their kids names or what not.. she comes across a lot of names at work.

so the other day, a lady comes in with two kids, a boy and a girl, and buys saint Nicholas and saint Cecelia medals. my mom comments on Cecelia's name, how nice it is (it was either that or Adrienne for me, I'm glad I got Adrienne, I think Cecelia is a bit pretentious) and her mom pipes up "yeah, but I didn't want her to be like everyone else, so I spelled it Cecelya!"

so. instead of NOT being like everyone else, and having a somewhat uncommon name like Cecelia, she gets to be JUST like everyone else, and have an unnecessary Y in the midst of her misspelled name. yay.

I kind of wonder if Nicholas was spelled Nicholys. being a much more common name than Cecelia, you know?
