This week has apparently been the week of odd spellings.  Spoke to two women on the phone, named Sue Ellen and Theresa respectively.  Got their contracts back with the names spelled Suellen and Tearesa.

Other names this week:

Treva (F)
Genie (F)
Joffra (M)
Prentis (M)
Erastus (M)

Thoughts?

P.S.  I've recently become obsessed with the name Christoph.  Any names you've only recently heard of that you love?

Suellen might be a Gone With the Wind reference, but I doubt it.

I know a guy named Christophe, he's probably 40's-early 50's. It fit him well.

I want to pronounce Tearesa as Ter-es-a not ter-ee-sa.

I really started to like the name Alice lately, but I don't know why - I used to hate it.

Is Prentis a variation on Prentice? If so, I definitely prefer Prentice.

Suellen is halfway acceptable. Tearesa totally isnt', since she had TWO legit spellings to pick from (Theresa and Teresa).

Out of names, I'm appalled to say the one I'd save is Genie!!

I consider Christoph mispelled, it's Christophe in french.

I saw Suellen today for the first time and nearly gagged. :P

What? Christoph isn't misspelled at all, it's the German form of Christophe.
