Help[Opinions] Re: Llewellyn
in reply to a message by BabyNameAholic
People are going to misspell it. It's just a complicated name and that comes with the territory. People misspell much simpler names everyday. It's just a fact of life. Don't let that deter you.
However, I live in South Carolina and I still think most people would do best to just leave the spelling as Llewellyn.
If nothing else, their autocorrects can help them with it, unlike if you change the spelling to something you think will work better, but autocorrect no longer recognizes.
It's easier to teach people the proper way than to teach them whatever way you thought would be better than the proper way. Does that make sense?
I say loo-ELL-en, unless I know it's someone who is really Welsh and then I do my best to say it with the air-rush Welsh pronunciation (which I don't even have a clue how to type).
