Apart from the misspelled names, we do have to remember that the US in particular has a multicultural heritage as least as far back as their discovery. |

A friend worked on a charity project in USA and came across 2 children whose names were pronounced Eenarmell and Peejarmay, but spelt Enamel and Pyjama - Mum had seen the words in a dictionary and thought they looked nice. |

not just present day names that are like this - take a look on Genealogy Board - "Daft names" - there are some horrendous ones on there |

I suppose it is spelt la-a.. to make it easy for the child to spell. |
