Misspelled Name

Talk about anything in here.

For some reason, people always think there is a 'C' in my name. (Sherise, btw)
It annoys me to no end when people spell it Cherise, Sherice, Charise or Cherice.
But I suppose it's understandable.

My last name isn't too bad.

I feel sorry for the guy in my class with the last name Labossierre (I probably spelled it wrong too...)
I believe in the sun even if it isn't shining. I believe in love even when I am alone. I believe in God even when he is silent.

Oh, but see, when you've had two years of Spanish, you'd know it's pronounced "Dweyn-yas." So rest assured, not all hope is lost for you. XD

My name is pretty much impossible to spell wrong. Pronounciation, however, is a different story.

I have common first name, for my region, that is spelled different ways, so it's about 50/50 they get it right the first time. My last name is uncommon, but spelled like it sounds, so it is also about 50/50.

My last name is correctly spelled either McClenny or McClenney,but it has also been spelled as:Macklenny,MackClenny,McLeny,McLenie,McLenny,MacClenney,
MacClenny,M'Clenny,etc.all of which are in fact valid variations(as well as Clenny
and Clenney without the Mc)and from time to time it has been misspelled as:
McClung,McCleeney,MacCleenie,etc.

My first name has many different spellings, and everyone messes up my last name, too. Oh well.
Heart of Sword's Rhapsody

Money, get away
Get a good job with good pay and you're okay
And all and all you're just another brick in the wall
Shoutin’ in the street gonna take on the world some day
But Bismallah will not let me go
Because I'll see you on the dark side of the moon

Tommy used to work on the docks
Union's been on strike
Bright eyes burning like fire
And exposing every weakness
However carefully hidden by the kids

Who will love a little Sparrow
Who's traveled far and cries for rest
Spare him his life from this monstrosity

I've seen a million faces and I've rocked them all
And if the band youre in starts playing different tunes
We will we will rock you
We will we will rock you!

First name:
People tend to write: "Fern...nnn..d..." or something else that involves a lot of erasing before they give up. (It's Fernando) Oddly, a lot of people wind up with Fernado... just missing one "n," but one they can clearly hear when they say it out loud.

My last name, Rojas (row-HAWS) is always spelled right, but some people tend to say "row-JAZZ."
