TORONTO – Breaking through intense political gridlock, the Toronto Council of Me(a)g(h)ans struck a deal late last night to finally standardize the spelling of their name.

"On behalf of Megan, Meaghan, Megyn, Meagan, and Meggan, I'm proud to announce we are now collectively known as Meagghayn," said the director formerly known as Meaghan. "It's long and cumbersome, but it's how we spell our name now."

Outside observers are hoping this new standardized spelling will make buying personalized keychains easier, and nearby Starbucks employees have been reported celebrating their decreased workload by deliberately spelling Geoffrey with a J.

There are only the two, right? Hailey/Hailee/Haylee/Hayley/Haley is a lot worse

I saw a person in an email today with the name "Ambar" and I read it as "Am-bar". But now I think her parents meant it as "Amber".

There are as many as you want.

Or more accurately, as many as there are mom who wants their daughter to have a unique spelling on the name

You clearly don't know enough Meagghayns

 

[Heshinsi]

Sean/Shawn/Shaun/Shon should also be standardised. Make the first one the official one.

I find pretty much all their content to a poor knock off of The Onion, but they knocked it out of the park the other day with this one:

Could be the latin/hispanic name? "Amber" is called "Ambar" in spanish.

Personally, I'm going to hold out my thoughts on this decision until they manage to poll some Helens first.
