If your team has a name that is not so ordinary or you have a member that has a not so ordinary name, please post their names here. I have noticed there is a mass misspelling of some “house-hold FIRST names” such as, Woody Flowers instead of Woodie Flowers. So please post your teams proper spelling here so people will spell it correctly.
My teams name it the Technokats…with a K not a C
other names I have to add are
Woodie Flowers
Dean Kamen
R.A.G.E. technically, although we may not always type it that way, it is actually an acronym for Robotics** And G**adget Engineering
As for me, my name is Lisa…Rodriguez…so many ways to spell it, best time was when the told the airline the wrong spelling (after my brother had been on the team 4 years, and my 2nd w/ a one year overlap)
My last name is always gets misspelled…Alvarado. I have seen it Alvrdo, Alvorodo, Alvorado, Elverado, and the list could go on. And my real name (not nickname) Stephen is said like Stefen not Steven.
I cannot tell you how many times people have misspelled my name. Bridget, Brigitte, etc, etc. And people never hear my last name (Blight) right either. Somehow people always think it’s Blake.
Our team’s name this year was the Garrett Coalition…not Garett, not Garret, not Garet. And contrary to popular belief, we are from MARYLAND, not West Virginia.
Our driver’s name is almost never spelled right: it’s Erik, not Eric or any of the many other ways to spell it. And our human player’s last name isn’t spelled right a lot of the time; it’s Storck, like the bird.
It’s not a misspelling, but almost everyone on the team has called me Sarah at one time or another…Sarah is the other girl on the team, but since there are only two of us, you’d think they’d remember who was who…
