...not spelled like that. This trope describes an intentionally bizarre or unusual (mis)spelling of one's name. It's generally done to make oneself stand out from the crowd without going to more ridiculous extremes. This would not include commonly accepted alternative spellings such as Jeff/Geoff or Terry/Terri/Teri, nor to simple foreign-language transliterations; the new spelling should be an obvious change from a generally-accepted way to spell it (it can, though, apply to foreign-language names which are respelled phonetically, such as "Antwan" [Antoine] or "Dontay" [Dante], unless/until the alternate spelling becomes mainstream — the aforementioned "Jeff" was originally one of these). Further, it doesn't often apply to surnames, as few surnames have a single, accepted spelling, but there are rare occurrences. As a fictional trope, one would expect this to appear mostly in written works, for obvious reasons, but it can crop up in other media as well, especially if a Cloudcuckoolander gets to pick the name. It's also Truth in Television, as hundreds of babies are given "unique" spellings of traditional names each year. Sometimes characters who are Not Quite Human have exotic names that are oddly similar to Real Life names as a result of a Fantasy Counterpart Culture. It's worth noting that replacing random vowyls with the letter "y" is an extrymely commyn mythod of invokyng thys trope. As is taking a one-syllable worde ande adding the letter "e". Or d'ropping in the oc'casion'l apostr'phe, usu'lly (but not al'ways) in place of a v'wel. For added comedy value, this can lead to Psmith Psyndrome. See also Hollywood Spelling, but note that if the alternate spelling is considered bizarre in-show, Hollywood Spelling may be deliberately avoided. Compare Xtreme Kool Letterz, a good way to invoke this trope; and Translation: "Yes" in the case of unpronounceable names. Contrast Inconsistent Spelling, where the writer themself isn't sure on how a name should be spelled. (If it's a variation on a foreign name, though, they can coexist.) Also contrast Pretentious Pronunciation, where a word with a normal spelling is given a bizarre pronunciation. Spelling of something other than a name by the writer is probably Phantasy Spelling. Not related to His Name Is.... May lead to Viewer Name Confusion. |

Thud! has Nobby going out with a girl named Tawneee. Three "e"s. Also, Tawneee has a friend called Broccolee (originally Candi, but changed it after she heard that broccoli is healthier). This might be an Invoked Trope, because they're both stri- exotic dancers. The same book features Mr. A. E. Pessimal, whose name is A. E. Just A. E. "You mean you weren't named, just initialled?" asks Vimes. | |

Foreign Correspondent has a character with the ridiculous last name of "ffolliot"—yes, two lower-case Fs—which he is somewhat embarrassed about. In the 1980 film "ffolkes" (released as North Sea Hijack in some countries), the titular character (played by Roger Moore) isn't at all embarrassed about the two lower case Fs in his surname. |

Parodied in The Vicar of Dibley, where Geraldine struggles with the name of Peter Capaldi's fiancé Aoife (a very common Irish name, but the spelling isn't exactly intuitive to the English). When Capaldi's character notes her brother's name is Breifne, Geraldine asks if he spells it "Krtnqz". "That's the guy!" note Part of the joke being that neither k, q or z appear in the Irish alphabet. | |

One common "joke" (referenced in, and possibly stemming from The Simpsons) consists of asking a someone to spell AC/DC. Their answer will invariable be "Ay, see, dee, see," or, if they're particularly clever and wary "Ay, see, slash, dee, see." Both of these answers, are wrong, since it's spelled with a lightning bolt, not a slash. | |

RWBY: Qrow was named "Crow" by the tribe that raised because they viewed both him and the bird as bad luck symbols. Qrow was Born Unlucky, possessing a Semblance he can't control or switch off. While he finds it useful in battle, it brings misfortune to those he cares about as well. He likes playing the role of Cool Uncle to Ruby and Yang, however, and the quirky spelling fits in with his "lone wolf hero" image. | |

Discworld: Thud! has Nobby going out with a girl named Tawneee. Three "e"s. Also, Tawneee has a friend called Broccolee (originally Candi, but changed it after she heard that broccoli is healthier). This might be an Invoked Trope, because they're both stri- exotic dancers. The same book features Mr. A. E. Pessimal, whose name is A. E. Just A. E. "You mean you weren't named, just initialled?" asks Vimes. Then there's Magrat Garlick, the original third member of the Lancre witches, who was supposed to be named "Margaret" but got sideswiped by an illiterate baptism. She attempted to avoid this fate for her daughter, but thanks to a too-literal reading of her instructions by the priest officiating at the ceremony, the poor child ended up with the name "Esmerelda Margaret Note Spelling of Lancre". The point of "Keli" (Princess Kelirehenna III of Sto Lat, better known as "Kelly"). In Wintersmith, we learn that Roland's last name is Chumsfanleigh. A footnote tells us that it's "Pronounced Chuffley" and that "it wasn't his fault". In Unseen Academicals, the necroma- sorry, "post-mortem communicator" Dr Hicks has taken to spelling his name "Hix", because no self respecting official token evil wizard should pass up a chance to have an x in his name. Ysabell in The Light Fantastic and Mort. Pyramids, set in Fantasy Counterpart Culture Egypt, features a handmaiden named Ptraci. A very brief mention in Eric of a Red Sonja parody named Red Scharron. |

In Mean Girls the main character's name is spelled Cady, pronounced like Katie, but several people pronounce it Caddy. (Or rather, perhaps, like "catty," as this pun would make sense and might well have been intended.) At one point the principal, Mr. Duvall, comments that he has a nephew named Anfernee who gets mad when called Anthony. Almost as mad as Mr. Duvall gets when he thinks about the fact that his sister named him Anfernee.note Maybe she was a fan of Penny Hardaway? | |

First Kiss at a Spooky Soiree features two incubus brothers named Baezel and Chirval, who, apart from the weird spelling, follow the Edible Theme Naming that is prevalent in NomnomNami's universe (as in, basil and chervil). The Starry Flowers novel features another incubus named Kardaemon (cardamom), suggesting that being named after a weirdly-spelled herb is a common thing for incubus demons. | |

Neopets are required to have globally-unique names, so users, unless they want to have unsightly numbers and underscores, have to resort to this if they want their pet to have a specific name. Unfortunately, the sheer number of pets in existence over the decades means that even plausible misspellings are exceedingly hard to find. The developers have noted numerous times that this was a headache to everyone, and an Artifact of the site originally being developed by inexperienced college studentsnote Specifically, it's a problem with how they implemented an SQL backend. The reason every pet needs a globally unique name is because pets' names are used as their ID in the database. This is considered horrible practice nowadays, and it's recommended that either dedicated ID strings or a combination of attributes that can't be duplicated anyway be used instead, precisely to avoid situations like this, but can't be changed at this point without toppling the entire database. So, the strange pet names are here to stay. | |

This is apparently done deliberately in the English translation of The Five Star Stories, using various idiosyncratic romanizations to distinguish things in the A Long Time Ago, in a Galaxy Far, Far Away... setting from the real things they're named after. Examples include the kingdoms of "Grees" and "Babiron" on the planet Delta Belune and the rival planets Both and Jüno (from audio equipment manufacturer Bose and the Roland JUNO synthesizer). | |

The Thrawn Trilogy from the Star Wars Expanded Universe gives us the evil clones Joruus C'baoth and Luuke Skywalker (cloned from Jedi Master Jorus C'baoth and Luke Skywalker, respectively). Although the spelling of these names is not called into question (because the characters never had to spell them), the "telltale mispronunciation" was mentioned as a sign that these were indeed clones. Since this is Timothy Zahn we're talking about, there's a pun involved too: It's not just a mispronunciation; since both clones characters have the letter U in their names, the clone is Another U. (One wonders what C'baoth would've named the clone of Mara Jade he intended to create. "Maura"? "Maara"?) At least it wasn't Entoo Nee or Ebanne Q3 Baobab, who got mistaken for droids all the time. Even though they didn't actually look a thing like droids. No other clones, not even the "Devist family" and Tierce from the Hand of Thrawn duology, written by the same author, distort their names like that. Maybe it's a Joruus thing, or maybe because these new ones were desperate to keep anyone from knowing that they were clones, and the Devists were all furiously working to avert Which Me? by being as individual as was practical. The same author uses this trope as a way to slip in very normal (at least pronounciation-wise), Earth-sounding names such as Jacen, Jorj, Billey, Rion, and Odonnl. Audiobook narrators tend to pronounce Jorj, for example, as "Zhorzh" instead of "George". |

The Noob parodies the high rate of this in MMORPGs (where multiple characters with the exact same name are not allowed). Ohforf visits an elven city where all the males are named variations of Legolas (Legolass, Leggolas, Legolaus) and all the females are Arwen (Arwyn, Arrwen, Arwhen). Ohforf also runs into this problem when first naming his character and tries Aragorn. When the game tells him it's taken, he then tries about ten misspellings of it while the computer makes fun of him for the attempt. | |

No other clones, not even the "Devist family" and Tierce from the Hand of Thrawn duology, written by the same author, distort their names like that. Maybe it's a Joruus thing, or maybe because these new ones were desperate to keep anyone from knowing that they were clones, and the Devists were all furiously working to avert Which Me? by being as individual as was practical. | |

In The Wheel of Time, Robert Jordan used this on occasion, with Elayne (Elaine) and Logain (Logan) being the most obvious normal names with single letters replaced or added. The most prominent concentration of such names is near the beginning of The Fires of Heaven, ranging from unconventional ("Maigan" for Megan) to plain odd ("Caralin" for Caroline and "Joni" for Johnny). | |

A Song of Ice and Fire, as part of its medieval setting, likes to vary the spellings of familiar names: Joffrey (Jeffrey/Geoffrey), Kevan (Kevin), Lysa (Lisa), Jeyne (Jane), Margaery (Margery), Petyr (Peter)... and that's not including all the slight variations (Eddard/Edmure/Edric, etc) and different spellings of almost homophonous names (e.g. Alliser/Alester, Arryk & Erryk). Since the series also has at least three different sets of "official" pronunciation (two different audiobook readers and the TV show), this can lead to a fair bit of confusion about whether the names should be pronounced like their real-world counterparts, or differently (e.g. Petyr Baelish as "Peter" vs. "Pet-tire"). | |

The Jeeves and Wooster story "The Spot of Art" had Bertie trying to win the affections of a girl named Gwladys. With a "w". His Aunt Dahlia didn't approve of her for precisely that reason, rattling off a long list of other suspect names such as "Kathryn" and "Ysobel". Most impressively, she does this in conversation. (Of course, the joke is also that Gwladys is actually the original, Welsh spelling...) | |

Thompson and Thomson from Tintin, who usually identify themselves on the phone as "This is Thomson without a P" or "This is Thompson with a P". (In the original French, they were Dupont et Dupond.) Thompson usually used something along the lines of "This is Thompson with a P, as in Philadelphia/psychology/phone/something else with a silent P", while Thomson used "This is Thomson without a P, as in Venezuela". |

Maggey Byrde from Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Justice For All, for plot reasons. Her first trial as a murder suspect revolves around the victim writing her name wrong (using the more common spelling of "Maggie"). In the original Japanese version, her name is Mako Suzuki. In this case it revolves around the victim using the wrong rendition of the surname (Victim wrote: 鈴木, the more common rendition. The actual rendering: é ˆã€…æœ¨, which is non-standard). | |

Similarly, Jinger Duggar's name is spelled accordingly because her parents wanted all of their children to have names beginning with J to match their father. All of the other children got away with typical "J" names (Josh, Jana, Jill, etc.) although a few involve a non-J name appended onto a J name (John-David, Joy-Anna, and Jordyn-Grace) to make them more interesting or unique while keeping them in line with the theme. | |

Doctor Who: In "Bad Wolf", the character Lynda clarifies that her name is spelled with a Y, not an I. Subsequently, the Doctor calls her "Lynda with a Y". Lynda keeps saying "Lynda-with-a-Y" because she's a Big Brother contestant and there was another one, already evicted, who was Linda-with-an-I. In the two-parter "Daleks in Manhattan"/"Evolution of the Daleks", a showgirl named Tallulah explains that her name is spelled "with three l's and an h". When she later asks the Doctor if he can save her boyfriend's life, the Doctor answers, "Oh, Tallulah with three L's and an H– just you watch me!" "In the Forest of the Night" has Maebh (as opposed to Maeve) Arden. The spelling of her name can only be seen in the episode briefly on the cover of her workbook, and in the credits. Then again, this might not count, because there's no "v" in Irish — her name is simply non-Anglicised, rather than spelled unusually. |

The Closer: Game of the Year Edition has two examples, both for playable characters: @twitter's name is always spelled in lowercase and with a preceding '@' sign so it looks like a normal Twitter username. This helps to distinguish the character from the social media platform it embodies. Zizek's name, meanwhile, plays with the trope: The strange spelling is not a deviation from a normal English name but a deviation from a normal Slovenian surname—the real life person the character's based on is better known with the surname Žižek, with carons over the Zs. |

Monty Python's Flying Circus Mr. Raymond Luxury-Yacht, which is pronounced "Throatwobbler-Mangrove". In the Bookshop Sketch, a man keeps asking for books with titles from Charles Dickens, but spelled differently and by different authors, such as David Coperfield and Knickerless Nickleby by Edmund Wells and Rarnaby Budge by Charles Dikkens. The exasperated bookseller tells him he has none of these books, nor "Carnaby Fudge by Daries Tikkens or Stickwick Stapers by Miles Pikkens with four Ms and a silent Q." |

Nrvnqsr Chaos from Tsukihime. "Nrvnqsr" is a transliteration of the Hebrew for "Nero Caesar" (see Number of the Beast). So even though "Nrvn" could be read as "Neron", it's really really hard to think of "qsr" as silent. Particularly startling since the first time you see it, it is in its own page, "Nrvnqsr? |>". And no one explains how to pronounce it. Played for Laughs in Carnival Phantasm, when Nrvnqsr has to write his name. He can't, and instead, he just writes "Nero". |

In Dino Attack RPG, Pterisa's name is an alternate spelling of the more common given name Teresa. In this case, it isn't just a funny spelling but also a Punny Name, since this spelling references Pterisa's pterosaur-based genetics. (Incidentally, Pterisa sounds a bit similar to "Pteroessa", meaning "winged", an epithet of the Greek goddess Nemesis.) | |

On How I Met Your Mother, a girl in a restaurant is annoyed when the waitress fails to realize ("Kristen?" "Kirsten?") that her name has "r"s on both sides of the "i": "Krirsten". Given that Ted is known to embellish and was told of this by Barney and Robin, this may or may not be an invention to illustrate how much of a b*tch the girl was. In another episode, Ted and Barney are separately told that a woman's name is "Robyn with a Y". They both reply "Yobin?" |

In Catherine, all three of Vincent's potential love interests have the same name that are all spelled slightly differently. The initial release gives us Catherine and Katherine, while the Updated Re Release introduces a Third-Option Love Interest named Qatherine (or "Rin" for short). | |

Transformers deliberately misspells some names based on common words that otherwise couldn't be trademarked. Like "Grappel" instead of Grapple, "Demolishor" for Demolisher, "Spittor" for Spitter, or "Scattorshot" for Scattershot. Also, Jazz was originally meant to be named "Jazzz". | |

In Hc Svnt Dracones, Vectors born in the territory of MarsCo.—the Jack of All Stats faction—generally have the most contemporary-human-like names to match, but the spellings have decayed into this due to Language Drift over the centuries. | |
