After my last post, I thought about how people mispronounce obvious names, and such.

What does everyone think of the name Cullen ("Kull-en")? It's my 6 year old cousin's name, and some aunts and uncles in the family, and family "friends", to this day, call him "Colin" (pronounced Cole-in) and "Collin" (Call-in). They even write his name like that!

Now, in the case of my family, the fact that Cullen's name is mis spelled and mispronounced is due to the laziness and disregard my family has towards actually learning the name.

But, as someone posted in a comment to me, their daughter's name is Rylee and people mispronounce that name, too.

What are some other names that people butcher, such as Cullen and Rylee?

Hahahaha, when I was thirteen I "changed" my name to Lindzy. And when I was fourteen I "changed" it to Tallulah because I thought it looked cool.

That cracked me up! :)
