Yay for butchering names!
Sep. 22nd, 2009 07:27 pmI work at Dairy Queen, and today I happened to see two interesting names on cake orders:
Chilo and Jewelia.
I was looking at Chilo going ... 'Chi-lo? WTF?' Then I thought about Shiloh .. and I was like ... no way. But yes, the mom came in and when she got the cake, she pronounced the name with an 'sh' sound.
For Jewelia, I just saw the cake order, but I'm assuming it's a butchering of the name Julia. As a Julianne, it made me do a severe D: face. I'm just hoping that it's a spelling some little kid wants, and not how the name is actually spelled.
