Joyofsixreboot Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 That is the name of a child in my dd's preschool class. It is pronounced Harmony. Really:eek::001_huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twoforjoy Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 I'd say that's more "Why we need vowels." ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spryte Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Looks like that name belongs on a license plate vanity tag, not a little girl. What were those parents thinking? ("Vanna, I'd like to buy a vowel, please.") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simka2 Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 I asked dd to write a shopping list for me. When I went to read it she had written "cewtips" instead of "Qtips." ;) Phonics gone haywire :D. Then I said "grout cleaner," but she wrote/heard "drought cleaner."I really wish there was such a product!!!! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie G Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 The crazy thing is that when I saw the title, I thought the poster's name might be Harmony and she was just 'signing' her title. I immediately read it as Harmony. But yeah, it does look like a vanity plate, doesn't it? I kind of prefer it to the trend of putting an apostrophe in every name. I make birthday cakes for a living- I see some unusual spellings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fairfarmhand Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 perhaps they texted the child's birth certificate to the Health Department? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sputterduck Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Maybe they learned that Hebrew doesn't use vowels in writing and thought it was cool? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tashagwen Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 :blush: Yikes! But I feel for the mom, she may regret her spelling now.. Like me :001_huh:... I wanted my DD's name to be spelled differently. We loved the name Brianna, but i didnt want people calling her Briana... We also wanted her nickname to be Bree.. So.. Breaunna it was .... Id change the spelling of her name if we had an extra $500+ laying around. I really HATE having to spell out her full name when we sign her up for stuff :eek:.

Jamauk Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 DS had a little boy in his K class named "Kyden" but it was pronounced KAYden. I think the mom forgot a vowel.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawana Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 You know, my first thought about the Hrmny thing was Harmony. I would never spell a name that way, but it is, at least, pronouncible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caterpiller Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 lol I thought the Hrmny was like a funny way to write out a snicker or grumble. :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitten18 Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I'd say that's more "Why we need vowels." ;) :iagree: But seriously, that's so sad.:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belacqua Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 You know, my first thought about the Hrmny thing was Harmony. I would never spell a name that way, but it is, at least, pronouncible. I was thinking Hermione... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirch Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I was thinking Hermione... That's the second one that came to mind for me. Poor kid. At least with most "creative" spellings people usually recognize that it's intended to be different. With this, she'll probably be constantly dealing with people who assume she (or whoever wrote or typed her name) left out a few letters.
