It’s Brandy with a Y

SO my Facebook profile clearly says BRANDY. My Blogger Profile clearly Says BRANDY. My blogs clearly say BRANDY.

Why is it that so many have issues with spelling of names? My name is a farily comment on but I did go to school with a Brandi and a Brandie … so I get it, some are used to spelling Brandy with an “i” or “ie” at the end, but nope not me.

My name is like that Brandy you sip, or chug depending upon how much you love your Coffee Brandy alcohol. Okay I don’t drink hard liquor but I do know that Brandy is a form of alcohol. My Dad loves him some good alcohol so who knows if that is where my name came from, I do know my middle name is from my Mom and has been passed down to my daughter as well for a middle name.

So why is it that people spell names wrong when they are right in front of their faces? My children’s names are not a normal spelling so most get their name wrongs, and I get that, but Brandy? I think of it as a common name…

You see I am anal about trying to spell someones name correctly, there are a thing called typos that happen … but come on two times in one day with two different people? That is a first for me with the name of Brandy.

Does anyone ever spell your name wrong? Does it bother you at all some days?

 Its Brandy with a Y

  1. Yup. It’s Katie and I often get Katy or even Kathy! Ridiculous!

  2. It’s not very often but people DO spell mine wrong occasionally.

    People spell my name wrong ALL THE TIME. It is LeeAnn. How hard is that? It is the two most common spellings of two very common names. The capital A really screws everyone up though. Still, it ticks me off when people I have known for YEARS still continue to misspell my name.

    Unfortunately, I “blessed” my daughter with an uncommon spelling also, and this happens to her all the time too. It is RYLIE, not Riley. Get it straight, people. ;-)

    Hmmmm, can you tell this is a sore subject with me?
