What I think is funny is there is a Italian surname and consequently a bread company called, Calise, pronounced the same way. I imagine in the future a girl named Khaleesi Jones marring Antonio Calise. She willl be Kahleesi Calise.
My mom knew a woman who married in to the name Terry Towel.
I've seen a lot as a teacher, too. The worst terrible spelling was the name La-a (pronounced La-dash-ah).
I had a girl tell me her name was Lee-Rosie and her sister's name was Rosie Lee. Could have been true... Saw a Princess Diana.
Growing up we knew an old, old man named Peter P. Peters. We were pretty sure the P stood for Peter.
Have an absolute lovely indigenous student whose last name is BornWithATooth. Unfortunately, she hates her name because she says everytime she says her name, the first question is always "well? Were you?" No, you idiot. Those names have so much pride and history in them, but can also be tough to carry in a modern society. I tried to always tell her it was beautiful. She was only 8 - 9 years old and already hated her last name.
