why do parents insist on penalizing kids by trying to be 'cute' when they name them at birth?
i just tried to track down a case in my computer
database and could not find it..
it's spelled JOHNATHAN, not JONATHAN.
i really do not care what phonetic, creative, cute
way you decide to spell or name your kid....
but be warned.....your child will be misplaced, hassled, made fun of and made to spell his/her name for the rest of their lives.
Please do not angrily call your school, doctor's office, department of motor vehicles, dentist, credit card company or any other business when the name your parents gave you (as cute as it was when you were a kid) cannot be found in our database.....
-michael, mychal, mychael, mychyl, michal, michyal- all sound the same to us.
It's up to you to get us the PROPER spelling in the first place-make sure that you spell it to
us when we take your info down for an appointment or reservation.
do not get upset at us when you call in for your child and you tell us your kid's (DAUGHTER'S) name is "MYCHAL SMITH"- i guarantee it that you will become indignant when we then ask you how old HE is..
and do not get ticked off when some one takes MYCHAL SMITH'S paper work and 'mispells' her name-
puts that ALL IMPORTANT INFORMATION under the
name of MICHAEL SMITH. i am sure your child will enjoy getting vaccinations they had the year before-all over again.
motto of the story?
be ready to spell you kid's name over and over and over again!
do not be quick to punish people trying to help you out because they cannot figure out how to spell YOUR kid's name.
sure, everyone will remember your kid because they have a 'unique' name....but be prepared for them to get lost in the shuffle of a computer database because we cannot be as 'creative' in spelling as your family was.
