what do you mean your mother misspelled your name on your birth certificate how does that happen?????

So my name was meant to be Aoife my Dad picked it after reading a newspaper with an article about 2 conjoint twins that survived after separation (one was named Aoife the other other niamh) but he wasn't actually there when I was born as I have 2 older siblings that needed to be looked after so left to her own devices my mum spelt it Aoifa she claims she was very unwell after I was born but I've also seen my red book and my name is not spelt correctly (or even the same way twice) in that whole book

#ask #anon #i know she finds the whole thing really embarrassing #bc she never told me she got it wrong on my birth cert #and just told me to spell it Aoife #i found out tho when i was around 12 #had a wee crisis #now i just spell it as it reads on my birth cert bc it makes forms easier #my mother hates this #she refuses to write it as Aoifa and keeps harping at me to get it legally changed #i remind her she had the chance to change it the whole first 15 years of my life #and i dont care enough to change it
