[quote=Anonymous]I would call PB customer service, explain that you are a loyal customer and that your DD received a customized PB chair she loves, but her name is spelled incorrectly. What are your options? See what they say.

If you cannot fix the mistake then I would donate the chair. At some point your DD will notice if Grandma keeps misspelling her name. Better to make a strong statement here than to just keep limping along until the kid's feelings are hurt. If you donate, and MIL asks about where it is,  just look her in the eye and say that you donated the chair after DH talked to her about it and she gave no indication that she would have the mistake fixed.

And in saying all of this, we have a niece with a common name that is misspelled because her mom wanted the name to be "a little bit different."  She was over two before I realized that her name was spelled differently. I really couldn't believe it, and I feel so sorry for her, but I would never intentionally spell her name the traditional way.  I would certainly never buy her a monogrammed gift with the traditional spelling. That's just rude.  [/quote]
