I used to work in a school and 4 kids had the same, awful name – the worst part is they all spelled it differently
NAMING your little one comes with a lot of pressure - you don't want anything too out there, but also want to avoid using the same name as everyone else.
But one former teacher has revealed how that backfired for some parents.
Their kids ended up in the same school with the same "unique" name - except they all spelled it differently.
Posting in a popular Facebook group, the teacher said: "Years ago (1998), one of the schools I worked in had lockers for all the preschoolers.
"In one long row, I kid you not, were four kids with the same name, each spelled differently."
The kids were called J’ustice, Justis, Jystys, and Justus, the teacher claimed.

People were stunned by not just the names, but the fact they were all spelled so differently.
"The fact that not one of them is even spelled right makes it so much worse," one slammed.
A second agreed: "What were their parents thinking?! YIKES."
"I can't decide which spelling is worse," another wrote.

Meanwhile, someone else said: "I met a Justyice recently. Hard to resist pronouncing it phonetically as justy-ice."
And another commented: "Justice is actually a great name (I like positive nouns used as names) so it’s ironic that none of them got that. I guess Justus may be a real name."
One person, who could relate with the struggle, said: "As one of literally nine Katelyns in my first grade class with like 6 spellings some weird as hell I feel this."
'Sorry your parents didn't love you'
In other weird name news, another person posted in the same Facebook group to slam their own name.
They said: "Yes, my name is literally Celery."
People were equally stunned and confused by the confession, and some even said they quite liked the unique name.
Someone even joked: "At least it’s spelled correctly. You could be Celyreigh."
Another person ruthlessly commented: "I am sorry your parents didn't love you."
And someone else even though it was cute: "If I didn't know it was a vegetable I'd love this."
