Spelling doesn't really bother me since multiple languages have different ways of spelling a lot of names. I am Italian and my middle name is "Cristina", but in the US everybody thinks it is spelled wrong and spells it "Christina". They do the same thing to my first name all the time as well haha. They spell "Teresa" as "Theresa". I swear... everybody wants to put an "H" in my name lol.
Now... here are some names that just flat out made me laugh (not in front of them), confused me, or made me feel horrible for the child. All these names I have seen in person and have met while working at a kids store in the mall.
Deathrage --> Pronounced exactly how it look, and it was the name of an adorable 2 year old girl.
d'erecka and syd'erecka --> siblings 2 years apart in age. I was very confused on how to even go about pronouncing the names.
Toot Fudge --> I'm going to hell... I had to hold back my laughter.
Virgin --> *facepalm*
On a side note, I totally fell in love at first site with a guy that walked into the store I worked at that was named Kal-El ... Apparently I was the first person to catch the superman reference right away haha.
Clearly I am just going to name my never going to come to pass future children Bruce and Wayne. That way when I call them for dinner I can scream "BRUCE WAYNE. FOOD IS DONE." Just kidding... maybe.
