Re: I know this shouldn't bother me so much ...

I did this a couple years ago, and I'm still embarrassed. I'd listened to an audiobook while at the gym, and one of the characters was so strongly in my brain as being spelled a particular way that I didn't check. I only realized after Yuletide was completely over that the character's name was spelled a different way.

Ah haha, yes, I guess it can happen to anyone! And from what people have pointed out above, there's plenty of confusion about certain spellings even in official sources. Maybe I just got upset about it because I suddenly panicked and had to go back to check that I didn't spell any names wrong myself :)

You think that's bad, I did it in an actual fic for yuletide one year. A last minute madness story, I checked the spelling of the one character with an unusual name but the other two characters in it had common names so I didn't think to look.

Unfortunately they were both common names with more than one possible spelling, and I managed to pick the wrong one for each of them. orz
