New Designer Guesses

No one knows what to do with my name. It's pronounced 'Lah-nee' which seems pretty obvious to me, but I guess it's not. Its always pronounced 'Lay-nee' which I absolutely can't stand. And if I say my name is Lani, without spelling it, I get all sorts of weird written versions. It's bugged me so much that we deliberately gave our kids very normal, standard spelling names (Thomas and Felicity). My husband has an unusual name and has the same problem. It's bugs him so much that he often doesn't bother with his first name and goes by his middle name, which is a much easier 'dean' lol.

Not to get off topic, I'm so excited to hear all these names being thrown about. I'm really hoping for Jady day, and am stoked about Nettio and Studio basic!
 
Sorry about that Lynnette. I have a hard to spell right name and I hate when people do that to me.

Wasn't intentional.

PS...to whoever guessed Elise from Elise's pieces, I LOVE HER!
 
Hmmmm, I don't think anyone has ever mispelled my name! LOL Now my last name...I still get yahooligans ask me to spell it....W-A-L-K-E-R
 
My name gets spelled incorrectly all the time too....it's Kelley, but it is either Kelly, Kellie, or Kelli to everyone else, lol. It was even spelled wrong on my graduation diploma.
 
Oh, and was also going to say that I really don't have much of an idea about the new designers. I was going to say that Erica Zane is a now way because I haven't seen anything about it at her current store which I'm a CT on, BUT, I checked and she hasn't posted in a while, so I guess it is possible...
 
HAHAHA!!! I always get people who ask how to spell my last name too... "umm... G-R-E-E-N-W-O-O-D, as in the color green and the wood from trees" :D
 
Ha Ha I tell peeps that my name is Jeanye as in "I Dream of Genie" and then of course they want to know if I can grant them three wishes and then they spell my name Genie from then on.....LOL
 
My name has been spelt:

Hiede
Heide
Hydy
Hide
Hiedy

Then, to top that off, my maiden name is Berck ... commonly know as "Burke". Sigh ... ;)
 
My DH has always had to spell both of his names. And the last name is a LONG german one. Nobody (except germans) can get it. So when we named our son...we picked a SHORT four letter name!! Hopefully he won't have to spell that much!
 
My last name is Schoenberger. Yeah. Good luck with that one... and anytime I spell it out loud, people think when I say "b" or "g" that I'm saying "v" or "t", so I've even gotten insurance cards spelled "Showenverter." Um, no. Not even close.
 
I get Meghan w/out the H all the time..i hate it and people in the south say "May" gan and it's MEG (as in peg) an (as in and w/out the D)

Neenee..I've said your name wrong for years..I've said Jen-Ay (like hay) in my head all this time
 
Meg, do you ever go by Meg for short? and I had Jeayne's name right, but I would have never spelled it like that if I met her in person:D and I can't believe people ask me how to spell my name!!!!!
A-N-G-E-L-A M-I-L-L-E-R REALLY!!!!:D the only thing I can think of is beacuse I have a little bit of southern draw being born and raised in VA!

Oh my gosh - us too!! With a 12 letter last name, that was DH's requirement for J's name... it had to the common spelling and short! And we STILL have to spell out Jacob - even if I say, "Jacob, common spelling"... I get the same for Rebecca... how many times have I seen Rebbeckah in my lifetime... geez!
 
My maiden name was Snow. Like the frozen white stuff that falls from the sky sometimes. And you would not BELIEVE the number of people that asked me how to spell it. Um, I don't know...S-N-O-U-G-H? S-N-E-A-U-X?:D
 
Erica Zane hasn't posted a goodbye sale....so even though it looks like her work, I don't know that it's her.

Maybe FLERGS??????

This drives me nuts, too! My name is Megann, pronounced the same way as yours. I grew up in the south and eventually resigned myself to being called "Maygan" when I told my friend it was Meg as in egg and she said "ayg."

Ha ha.....we are even then. I have been thinking yours was "May" gan. Cuz it's the norm since that is my DD #3's name. ;) Oh, and I totally call you Meg sometimes. I didn't know you weren't crazy about it.

I have been secretly hoping for Flergs...... ;)
But, I didn't get the collab so I haven't seen the goodies...so I have no educated guess.

I ALWAYS have to look at your name somewhere before I type it. But, I am always getting my "e" and "i" backwards, even in common words. So, it's like a brain malfunction. :D
 
Flergs has collabed with Zoe & Eva before. I know in the past, she has made it clear she is happy at SBG and won't be leaving, but I would be completely thrilled if she came here.

As a Mari with 2 uncommon long ethnic last names (cannot wait to go back to only 1 last name), I get a lot of mistakes with both pronouncation and spelling.

Meghan, I always thought you prefered Meg. Though the way you say is the only way we say it here.
 
I really don't *think it is Flergs but, you never know. I know pink hair was mentioned and she has had pink hair in the past and she is someone who hadn't been mentioned yet. (Remember D5 said something about that one person hadn't even been mentioned).

I think no one would really guess her because I too never think she will leave SBG but, that would be a HUGE announcement if she did.
