It's both a blessing and a curse to having an average name with a not-so-average spelling. While it makes you stand out, it does come with some disadvantages. Here's a list of struggles that we can all relate to.
1. When you go on vacation you don’t even bother to look for a keychain with your name on it
2. The barista never gets it right.
3. Neither do your teachers.
I've been in class all year, how do you not know how to spell my name?
4. When there's someone else with your name, you get introduced with the way you spell it.
"This is Ashlee, with two E's"
"Or just Ashlee works..."
5. You automatically have a bond with someone shares your same spelling.
And you freak out when you first hear it.
6. People try to relate and say, “Oh, my best friends cousins sister spells it like that.”
Yes, it is possible for there to be more than one person with the same way to spell a name.
7. Autocorrect hates you.
According to autocorrect, you always spell your name wrong.
