Name spelling vent

[michellina]

An acquaintance on FB has a boy named Patt.rick. Why the 2 t's?? Each time it's posted I get a twitch in my eye. Pat.rick is a wonderful name! What triggered this vent is the fact that she just posted something about him, and spelled it with 1 t! Even she can't remember they made it have 2 t's??! I'm just at a loss with this one! The boy is adorable, but why make things difficult? Anyone care to vent? LOL

Edit: spelling is hard.

I don't know. I have a son named Everett and I have people on my facebook that spell it Everette. Why do people feel like they should put the extra 'e' on the end? It makes me stabby.

Such a great name to butcher... What a shame

Maybe autocorrect is trying to tell her something.

Yeah, my vote is autocorect. If I type Yep or Two, it changes it to DS's nn all the time.

Are you sure she really legally name him that with two T's and it wasnt a typo somewhere? Also possible that if she did her computer wants to autocorrect it to one T.

Oh no it's legit with 2 tt's. I agree the auto correct probably changed it to 1 t. The post I'm referring to was actually a photo of him with a customized shirt with his name "Patt.rick" on it.
