Sometimes, i think parents go out of their way to have their children's named spelled differently just so their kid can be "unique". I think they forget that their kid has to be able to spell the name and everyone else should be able to pronounce it, too

Sometimes I really think the reasons these names come up spelled all funny is that the parents name the students without knowing how to spell the name first.

I think it was someone famous who named their kid MoonUnit. And then, there was some woman who named her kids Lemonjello and Orangejello. No, I'm not joking lol
I just worked with a girl named Alex Funk last semester. She was nice, but I always felt bad for her with that last name...

Oh yeah, I think that's totally the reason. Some people take it to the extreme of stupidity though.
