Caroline has been called Carolyn a number of times.

Don't presume pronunciation from spelling. My daughter's name is Caroline, pronounced "Carolyn".

If I had a dollar for every time someone has called me "Susan" instead of my real name, "Suzanne," I could buy Amazon from Jeff Bezos.

People aren’t misspelling Dorka’s name. E.g. Dorca, they’re calling her completely different names like Jorka.

Ducharme's first name is not pronounced "Carolyn". I was referring to her, not presuming anything.

My comment was not directed at you; just a general observation.

My last name is now a common first name and people spell and pronounce it wrong always leave out a syllable

The comedian Brian Regan uses those two names in a bit about forgetting and pronouncing names, using the pronunciation from Caroline per the spelling.

His word play routines are classic.

Maybe they are subconsciously thinking of Nikas dad name (Darka) so they are thinking it can't sound the same. Didn't say that right, but you should get what I mean.

Posters on here all always calling me meyers or @meyers7 , instead of meyers7.

You are making someone's point. Nika's dad is Darko.

Ahhh cat herding. Many years ago, during a time of lots of cat fighting on the yard (I know, hard to believe) I made this video from a commercial that was around at the time.

That was hysterical from start to finish, but the single best moment is Fishy’s
falsetto “it weren’t so bad.”

Leo Gorcy who played in the old Dead End Kids and Bowery Boys series, was a master of malaprops, mispronunciations, and name mangling. He would be an emeritus member of the Boneyard had he survived his death.

Not Jorka or Dorkas, it’s Dorka. I’m seeing all kinds of spellings, maybe some autocorrect? But her name is

If I'm not mistaken, which I may be, the "sz" should be pronounced "sh". So You-hash. Right?

 

[LCConnFan]

IMHO....... it's totally the parents fault .

 

[eebmg]

The most important thing is not to forget the "a"

What is Hungarian for lay up?

 

[DefenseBB]

as someone whose last name has been constantly misspelled from a young age I stopped worrying about it by the age of eleven.........

Spacing and hyphenation might help- Charlie b-ball, problem solved!

What is Hungarian for lay up?

According to Google, a basketball lay up is translated as 'kosarlabda fekudt". Good question!

I have a friend whose daughter is named Dorcus.....English I think. When she told me her name, I said; " you've got to be kidding." Sort of a faux pas. Just paying the time until dribbling begins...
