I assume he had to misspell his name in-game cuz Garrett was already taken on his server...

Your child is going to hate having to correct the misspelling of his intentionally misspelled name for the rest of his life. You might want to rethink that.


No offense intended. This is just based on personal experience.

Gaerret is the middle name so i'm not concerned. Brokk is how it's spelled in Norse Mythology and that's how we want it.

Damned if you do and damned if you dont. My name is Tanya and i get called Tonya all the time. There is always gonna be something "wrong" with a name. My husband is coming from a family of 4+ Toms that are still alive. I rather have a name that isnt common.

I have a fairly common name and people misspell it all the time and try to call me shortened versions of it. We named our daughter Aime because we liked how it looked rather than Amy. If people are too stupid to pay attention and spell a name properly, it's neither my fault nor hers. I personally don't let it bother me and I only correct them if they're misspelling my name on a legal document.

One of my given names is Laurencia and you do not hear that every day. The names you have chosen Tuneses are important to you and will not cause your child any distress that they will not be able to handle (mainly because he will have 2 very supportive parents)


My oldest niece is named Jessica and people were always trying to give her nicknames like Jess and Jessie and from a very early age she 'corrected' people concerning her name.

Children are resilient and as long as you are not naming your child something like Adolf Hitler or Hashish...they should do great Truly...

My daughter is named Shannan, instead of the Shannon which is more common. People try to misspell her name all the time.
