I was getting my nails done today and happened to overhear a woman who came in to schedule an appointment for tomorrow.  She said her name was Brianna.  Then she spelled it:

Brieahnnah.

Yipes.  WDYT?

That's one horrible mutilation of a beautiful name

This sums it up well.

I wonder if she chose that spelling or her parents. I had some friends who turned their names all wonky-spelled in middle school. I would almost think that anyone growing up having to spell it out like that all the time would change that shit as soon as they were legal age.

Just... wow.

What did you say? I would have been at a total loss as to how to arrange my face and disguise my horror! That's just awful.

You mean Brieahnnah isn't how everyone else spells it?
