I actually have a pretty normal name (Lori) but for some reason almost no one spells it right and no one can remember it. Most people think I'm Lauren, Lisa, Linda, etc...and one who insisted I was Julie. <br /><br />But instead of getting ticked off about it all the time I finally just turned it into a joke - as long as it's not on official paperwork I don't care if it's spelled wrong and I tell people they can call me anything that starts with an "L" and I'll probably answer! Life is just too freaking short to go all frothing at the mouth over something so minor in the grand scheme of things!Lori Kaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-24468486716881353802011-08-03T06:05:56.677-04:002011-08-03T06:05:56.677-04:00My name being Sarah I understand that people could...My name being Sarah I understand that people could spell it wrong without an h like some do, but when they are replying to me on facebook or myspace and my name is right in front of them they should spell it right.<br />If a baker is supposed to put something specific on the cake and is told about it then they should make sure they do that right.

Not a wrong spelling, mind you, but perhaps a bit unexpected.<br /><br />On another note, that's an interestingly presumptive way to start a comment. I know of quite a few people of color in the Cake Wrecks community. Personally, I like to think of myself as a slightly blotchy shade of pink.<br /><br />Please have a wonderful day,<br /><br />john (with a silly silent h)john (the hubby of Jen)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-66396345040974009282011-07-30T17:38:22.077-04:002011-07-30T17:38:22.077-04:00I don't know how many people watch People'...I don't know how many people watch People's Court but I wonder if the bakery will suffer more damage thanks to actually appearing on this terrible show instead of just coming to some monetary agreement.

Kees...Dear Kind White People of Cake Wrecks,<br /><br />Kesha<br />Keesha<br />Kiesha<br />Keisha<br />and in this case<br />Keshia<br /><br />Is not an odd name. It is, however generally a name used by Afrian-American families. Which, I suppose for many of you, might make it odd, but the fact that this family in the video is using it makes me wonder if the name is a little less "ethnic" than even I thought.<br /><br />I had never seen it spelled like that but she specifically said she told the lady how important it was to her. And the lady agreed that it had come up.<br /><br />An engagement is, if you're lucky, a once in a lifetime moment. And the mom deserved her moment of persnickety perfection, especially since she made a point of mentioning that it was her pet peeve.<br /><br />4,300 lawsuit is a bit excessive, but I didn't like the way the business people just kind of shrugged off her complaint either.ThatDeborahGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02235918238595525061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-86354047275405759402011-07-30T13:10:46.277-04:002011-07-30T13:10:46.277-04:00I love Judge Milian!

The cracks, on the other hand?<br /><br />If the baker wouldn't reimburse her for the cake, that'd be one thing, but you shouldn't ask for the entire party. Besides, it's a boring sheet cake. The cracks are ugly and ridiculous, but the name? Your fault, psycho mom. I've got a reasonably uncommon name (People are prone to spelling and pronouncing it "Alexia" or "Alexis"), but while I correct people constantly on pronunciation, I really don't make a big fuss afterward. Though I have gotten a lot of laughs over the Health Room nurse who wrote Alexisa when I told her there was an "a" at the end. <br /><br />I feel sorry for the couple- that mom is CRAZY, but the bride looks almost embarrassed to be there a couple times, and the fiance deserves credit for coming to court with this.

One day I called my local Pizza Hut to place a carry out order and gave them my last name--Thomas--to label my order. Twenty minutes later I go to pick up my pizza and the cashier says 'Thomas? We don't have a Thomas.' I asked if maybe they had a Thompson (one of their workers made that error fairly frequently) but they didn't.<br /><br />Eventually I just told the cashier my order and my total.

I never have figured that one out. my last name is Monroe, which is more often than not spelled and/or pronounced Monreo or Moore. My least favorite response of all time, "Monroe?
