My brother and I both have unusual spellings to less common names.

I am Tamra, not Tamara, and he is Blane, not Blaine...

We have both had a lifetime of misspellings. People NEVER spell our names right. I will say, "I have a name that is spelled differently than normal, it doesn't have a middle A, it is T-A-M-R-A not T-A-M-A-R-A." They'll say, "Got it." I'll then hear 6 clicks on the keyboard and tell them to go back and remove the middle A. Never really confused with others, tho.

I do go by Tammy, as well, and one of the vet techs is a Tammy with the same last name, spelled differently (Smythe vs. Smith). So I can easily remember her name...

The funny thing is I have a Step-Aunt that cannot spell Tamra to save her life, no problem. Go with Tammy. She has a heck of a time spelling Tammy for me. She's always spelled it Tami. But, her daughter-in-law is Tammy and she spells it Tammy. She can spell the other Tammy's Tammy, but can't get mine right for the 30 years I've been her niece... The other Tammy came along 10 years later.
