So, being back at school means I get to meet a whole new bunch of people, and new names.. and I've stumbled upon probably the WORST spelling of a name, ever.

Kiehli


...pronounced as "Kylie"  Uhhhh, she's 20 and that is the most horrendous and kr8tyv spelling I've ever encountered. WDYT?

I thought for a second it was pronounced 'KAY-LEE'...horrible name and spelling

I thought that, too. Then again my name is pronounced Tay-lee and it's spelled like my user name. My mom obviously hated me.

Yup, I get Keely out of that one too. Maybe Keihli would get the correct pron. - still a terrible butchering though.

My first thought was that it must be "Keely".

Oh man, that is horrible. Like, really really bad. I didn't even get that was suppose to be Kylie until you pointed it out. Yikes.

I wonder if she made it up herself or if that is her legitimate name?

I actually got the pronounciation right away... doesn't make it any less horrid though.

Arg... I break stuff down phonetically, so it'd be KIE EH LEE with 3 syllables.

Kuyellie. It's about as smooth as a box of rock thrown down a stairwell.

Box of ROCKS*. Though I did originally type it out as "box of rox" AHAHAHAHA. Oh god. How did I ever graduate? :(

My bf's cousin is Kiel, so Kiehli makes sense to me... sort of.

I got the pronunciation right at least.

Isn't Kiehl's some sort of bath & body or hair product? Some sort of cosmetic thing...that's what I thought of. And I would pronounce that Keely if I didn't know otherwise.
