C'mon-i give up. Rant

I just got the mail, there is a Christmas card from my father and his wife, once again, for the 10th year in a row they haven't spelled my daughter's name correctly. WTF??

2. I don't know what his problem is, or maybe i do

but it pisses me off "How come Nana and Granpa always spell my name wrong Mom?" You know his name is Richard but he really is more of a Dick.

3. Is it one of those oddly spelled names?

Like Karolyn, maybe they just spell phonetically?

4. I don't think so, it's not like i haven't spelled it out for them

5. It would be really bad if her name was Phranseen

My parents couldn't remember my name,being called ' Hey Stupid" really helped my self image.
