I named my kids Patience and Jackson-Lee, but they’re not spelled that way – people say I tried to use all 26 letters
ANYONE with a unique name knows the struggle of constantly having to explain spelling and pronunciation to strangers.
One woman overcomplicated the spelling of her children’s names, and people are confused.
A Reddit user shared the oddly spelled names in a group that shames unusual baby names.
“Please say sike,” the online user captioned the post.
In a screenshot of a Facebook comment, the mother explained: “I have two kids with unusually spelled names, Paexhynx and Jaaksyn-Lhi.”
She revealed that “Paexhynx” is pronounced “Patience,” while “Jaaksyn-Lhi” is the same as “Jackson Lee.”
The unnamed mother detailed that she didn’t regret the name Paexhynx.
She shared that she changed the spelling of the name because she felt the original spelling was too feminine.
The mother-of-six detailed that Jaaksyn-Lhi is named after her husband’s uncle, but she does regret the name a little bit.
“We shorten his name to Jaaks and it looks nice,” she revealed.
Her other children’s names include Zion, Katya, Kylani, and Kelstyn La’Maia.
Reddit users took to the comments section to share their thoughts on the confusing baby names.
“Look lady, I know there’s 26 letters but you really don’t have to use them all,” said one reader.
Another person pointed out: “These kids are going to spend their whole lives (or until they legally change their names) spelling their names straight away, without being asked.”
“I was thinking something like Pazyn?? I definitely couldn’t pronounce it without knowing what it’s ‘supposed’ to be,” wrote a third user.
