just got a call from a youneek name

[lurknomore]

I just got a call from a potential client with a youneek name.  Its a common name that you would spell the same every time--it has just one (proper) spelling.  But not his.  First thing he did was spell it.  I'm guessing he has to do it a lot.  Think Kristn instead of Kristen.  Poor guy.

We cannot pass judgment unless you tell us the name.

It's almost exactly the example I used.  I guess I can throw it out here.  D.us.tn (for googleability )

Hm. At his parents used one vowel and he's not dstn?

Why not use the "i" though? That's so bizarre. Lol

I guess I can't judge this one too much because I pretty much everyone I know named Kristen spells it a little differently. Kristen, Kristin, Christen, Cristen, etc.

Same with the actual name you're talking about. I always ask how to spell it because I know both a Dustin and a Dusten. It is a little shocking to see a name leave out a vowel though, in the era of MOAR VOWELS! EVERY VOWEL EVER!!! I'm looking at you Kriystayyyn
