OMG, Wax just reloaded the national news and there's an article about a cat named Filliph.

FILLIPH.

These Finns have simply named their cat FILLIPH because they don't understand English pronunciation and think that "ph" is pronounced "p" and the h is decorative.

I went to get my helix piercing redone the other day (back when I had it done in the 90s it was just a 'cartilage piercing', also they still did it with a gun, not a needle), and one of the kids waiting to have their ears pierced had their name spelt out to the front desk staff.

'It's Thea. F-F-H-E-A.'

The other child's name from the same family was Molly, which I assume was spelt Molly because the grandparent didn't feel the need to spell it out.
