I have observed this for some time and I am sure that others have noticed, but it seems that so many parents just insist on creative spellings for common given names. Well, I just have to share one that I just ran across. I saw it on the video that Frank Townend posted a link to:

The women who is demonstrating the product has a name that is commonly spelled Mandy, but I have seen it spelled Mandie. Her name though is spelled Mandiey.
Is it just me or is the world nuts? If you only saw this name in print, how would you think to pronounce it? I am not sure if it is a result being creative or just not knowing how to spell.
According to this rule of spelling, Larry should be Larriey. Hmm... has a kind of mystery to it. I can see it now....Larriey Merlau. The kind of name a vegetarian would have...especially a spinning vegetarian.
