Haha I figured most people would say my boy's names wrong.... they are French
My parents call them AJ and PJ and oh gosh it makes my blood boil (their middle names are Joseph and Jay).
Yes, I named my son Philippe Jay.
Named after........

I'd have got your kids' names right, but then again I was born in France. I've had to contend with a lot of French family names lol. My dad is Gérard but the amount of people that call him Jerr-ard or even Gerald is ridiculous.
My husband is Philip but when we went to France all my relatives insisted on calling him Philippe haha it was funny.
On the other side, my mam is Polish. She actually went whole hog and changed her entire name because nobody could ever pronounce Wladyslava. She used to get called Gladys in school apparently. She's called Dyann (Diane) now lol.
Kind of... my LO is called Emilia, but soooo many people call her Amelia. Its fine when we go to Poland as Emilia is a well known name there (DH is Polish) but over here no-one gets it lol. Really...not hard...like Emily but with ia and the end instead of y
Emilia is pretty. Reminds me of this song :

don't think I've ever heard of another Emilia. I'm not sure she did any other songs worth remembering either lol. One hit wonder I reckon. I always liked it though.
As for my own kids' names:
my DD is Lydia Fay. My aunt ALWAYS writes Faye instead of Fay but at least it's pronounced the same.
DS1 is Alexander Joshua. Nobody seems to have issues with this one, which is fine.
My DS2 is Jason Matthew. My uncle has this weird mental block and seems to think his name is Josh for some bizarre reason. I've pulled him up on it so many times. He even writes Josh on birthday cards and everything! He actually told me that he thinks Josh is short for Jason
My own name, Natalie, is fine, but nobody every knows how to pronounce my middle names (Jeanne Antonina). I get Jane or Jean a lot, and Antonia
