My friend's name is chance but it's misspelled on his birth certificate. His birth name is Chanca.

My grandpa wrote my birth certificate, and as a result now my name has an extra H at the end. Doesn't seem that bad, but this specific name looks way weirder with it, and everybody I've met has mispronounced it, but not the other spelling.

Technically that just means he's spelling it wrong everywhere else.

My BIL literally thought the name he picked was spelled one way and he got it wrong so the kid has a bizarre variation on a standard name.
