I ran across this post on a bulletin board:

“Ok, me and my husband has finally decided on a name that we like. It’s anislee. Like the lady on the west wing. (My husbands favorite show.)

My friends do not like this name. They said it’s horrible. But it’s the only name me and my husband can decide on. Plus nothing sounds good with it. Please help. Our last name is Rollins.”

WTF? I wrote back and gently reminded her that perhaps a name beginning with ‘anis’ would not be so good in the long term for their daughter’s well-being, and pointed out the traditional spelling of Ainsley (ick either way). Maybe they’re just dyslexic or something, but SHEESH.
