[quote=Anonymous]I have a name that can be spelled either with a silent letter or phonetically (think Aisling vs. Ashlyn except a bit more common in the US). If people hear my name first, they spell it the phonetic way. If they see it written first they pronounce the silent letters, which I always had to correct when we had a sub doing roll call at school. Today, when I get a coffee at Starbucks I just give my easy to spell/say middle name. Or occasionally if someone who doesn’t know me well introduces me at a work meeting, I will make a correction. It’s not a huge deal, but something to think about when naming your kid. In my case I have a real historically existing name. But I’ve seen this come up with some of the more “creative” newer name spellings. [/quote]
