Saw this horrible "name" on FB

Cey.ton

Yeah. When I was reading the status... without thinking, I read it at satan. My jaw dropped and I had to re-read it. I assumed it was Cay-ton. Nope. Still wrong. It's pronounced like Keaton. Someone even commented and said they should reconsider the spelling and she got defensive about someone thinking she would name her kid satan. I already feel so bad for him.

I don't care if the mom corrected me or not...I would always read that as "satan".  Poor kid, stupid mom.

Sometimes I just don't think people understand letter sounds anymore. *le sigh*

How does one go nine months or more without thinking about how people are going to pronounce their kid's name... unbelievable.

I think it is terrible.

I read it as Keaton but only because my brain is becoming used to all of these oddly spelled names...scary.
