As I was thinking about mispronounced names, I started to think about my "almost neice" Caleigh.
That's a fine spelling (I think this is the correct Irish spelling, actually), but have you noticed how many variations of this name there are?
Kaylee
Cayley
Kaeleigh
Kaelie
Kaili
Kaylley
Kaylea
(This is just a small sample of the spellings I found!)
New parents often want to bestow names that will be unique and that will make their children stand out, and many choose unique spellings of the "good old names."
That makes it complicated for teachers, and grandparents, and often even for the children themselves because they have to continually explain the spelling.
