Thread Name: Frequently misspelled/confused names.
Subject: RE: Frequently misspelled/confused names.
The standard printed spelling of my name (also a not uncommon word in English-language songs of Irish origin) is Colleen, not coleen, collene, colene, colline, or anything else. And yes, I know this is not the actual spelling in Irish, I'm talking about the way it is spelled in published songs.

Some people can misspell anything. As a child, I thought no one could possibly misspell my last name, Carter. How naive I was!
