I can imagine that happens a lot with that name nowadays.

Must be frustrating!

Can I ask how Rhiannon is pronounced? Cause I've personally never heard of the name over on this side of the pond.

I would say Rihannon as well, how else would you pronounce it?

Don't let it bother you, how are they to know? people write Bethanie's name Bethany, but I suppose it's to be expected as she has a more unusual spelling.

 

[Serene123]

I would say Rihannon too! People spell Caitlyn, "Caitlan!" That well pisses me off!

"Ree-An-Non" At least here in Canada I love the name Rhiannon!! I have it stored in my head for my next baby girls name I also love Fleetwood Mac though, and it is one of their songs.

I don't understand why the hell they'd say spell it Caitlan, it doesn't even sound like Caitlyn lol

*Phew* Yes, thats what I thought but I had the Rihannon spelling in mind

 

[princess_bump]

oh chick, not suprised it annoys you i went to school with a rhiannon so i kinda understand

 

[reallytinyamy]

I love Rhiannon, would have been a contender for us if the surname wasnt so long, but I've only ever known it as Rhiannon

 

[Rachiebaby24]

Whats the difference in pronounciation between Rhiannon and Rihannon?? Is the "H" more prominent in Rihanon....cos i just say Rhiannon.

I really liked Rhianna as a name but i didnt go with that because of the references to the singer.

Maley gets called Marley all the time!!!!! But i suppose thats my fault for giving her an unusual name!

[isil]

don't get me started! although for us it's spelling, even my sister can't spell his name right! I got it growing up (my real name is Sheona, pronounced she-oh-nah) but because of where we live I get called Shauna and Sharna all the time. Does my nut in...

 

[welshcakes79]

see, thats it, i think im more peeved orf FOR her for when she is older and people dont call her Rhiannon..., you watch, it wont even bother her

yes its pronouced ree-an-non but the ree is more like r-H-ee, and the empahisis is on the non bit.. so itss more like a r-H-ian-NON..if that makes sense lol x

 

[Donna79x]

I have the same prob hun with RIHanna (under my umbrella ay ay ay ay!!)..... peeps spell it RHIanna...

I would pronounce them diff, RIHanna I say more Ree-anna and RHIanna is more Ry-anna per my baby book lol xxx

When I went 2 my works xmas do, my colleagues wife that I have known for some years said 'oh what you called ya baby' . so I told her, Rihanna.... she replied 'ohh why didnt you call her summart normal' FFS, I just walked away before I said something i would regret.

 

[emma_27]

I know how you feel! Benn is Ben with two Ns and i always get have you misspelt his name lol really annoys me. My own fault though i guess.

 

[angie0235]

I think I might change Kathryn's name to 'Kathryn with a k and ryn' as that is what i have to say each time I say it! My own fault for wanting to have a name that can be spelt in many different ways. Laugh is she'll probably be called Katie anyway 'with an ie' x

 

[Cinderella]

My name's Elle.... it's so bloody simple but every man and his dog gets it wrong, especially out here in Fl and even though it shouldn't annoy me it does! Mainly because they pronounce it Ellie... and I think that sounds very juvenile, plus IT'S NOT MY NAME! And it gets spelt Ele, or El, and I just don't get it. It's four letters, spelt the same back to front... it couldn't be easier!

Names are tricky though!

! I only just realised that the chick who looks after Jasper on a Friday for 2 hours is called Bethan not bethany

Yep... been leaving Jasper with her for about 8 weeks and its taken me THAT long to realise what her name is!

I smile when Jasper gets called Casper, its happened about 3 times, but I just find it amusing... probably because I'm the kind of person who messes up names ALL the time, so who am I to judge?

 

[mrsdcooper]

am so with you on this one

everyone says Harmony instead of her actual name Hermione.

so annoying - arghhhh and have no idea how to get people to say it right without being rude.

Any Suggestions
