Today I encountered a child named Precious Anjel.

Seriously. They didn't even spell Angel correctly.

Why do people do this?

Maybe they didn't want their child or something and wanted to punish it.

i doubt they'd name it precious then.

[pegasus2o5.livejournal.com]

Ah, but maybe they did that to throw off suspicion!

Oh God.

I once knew someone called Paradise Celestial (not surprisingly, she grew up very very strange), but at least it was correctly spelled...

WOW.

Whenever someone has a name like that I just imagine a news reporter saying "Precious Anjel was arrested this evening on suspicion of 2nd-degree murder..."

Aw, poor kid.
Jeez.

im surprised it didnt become dan-yell?

Well, they tend to not really "get" phonics either... The more I think about it, the more this really explains some of the weirder names I've encountered...
