A girl I went to high school with had a teddy bear named Tedward.

[-] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

A friend once took a sharpie to a buddy's name tag at work, changing Craig to Graig. At first he couldn't figure out why the customers kept calling him Greg, then some lady said something like "I've never seen such a unique spelling of the name Graig before. He looked down n saw his name tag. Hilarity ensued. 10/10 would recommend to anyone who works with a Craig at a job that people wear name tags for.

[-] Pregnenolone@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

It’s very appreciated. I’d say too appreciated.

Help me out, what's a good one for Jessica? I wanna annoy my sister :)

[-] Grass@sh.itjust.works 8 points 11 months ago

I have used Jessandra/Jessessandra, Jessinald, Jesstancia, Jessentina, Jessanca, Jesstoria, Jessody, Jesselia, Jessolet, Jessilda, Jessephine, Jessevieve, Jessentine, Jesselaide, Jessalie, Jesselope, Jessatrice, Jesselia, and many more. Just because she introduced herself saying her name was easier to remember than the other two that had just introduced themselves. Admittedly I can't remember their names.

I'm afraid you're shit out of luck. Jessica is already an elongated name. If it were something like Jess, you could use Jessilda.
