I'll TELL you what's in a name, mister

Poll about spellings, inspired by Anne Shirley's assertion in Anne of Windy Willows/Poplars that "Catherine with a C is smug", causing her bitter colleague Katherine to start writing her name with a C in notes to Anne. Assume that both names would be pronounced the same (they are by me), just which spelling you prefer. I promise no repercussions for q5, I am just curious!

[Poll #1448127]

Also - can't be bothered to edit the poll to put this in - does your name get misspelled often, and does it annoy you?

Seeing as my name is Rachel, I often get the other option you provided for the poll, or Rachelle. And it's also frequently mispronounced in the French manner (usually by anglophones, oddly). My last name is also extremely common, and also frequently mispelled, which I find kind of amusing.

I taught a Rachelle, and I mispronounced when I first did the register. I had to keep reminding myself not to get fancy when I talked to her.
