My pet peeve is the Finnish name “Yrjö”. It comes from the Greek name “Geôrgios”, which means farmer, but nowadays the word “yrjö” means vomit. ‘Unique spellings’ like some “Everleigh” also drive me crazy.

    I’m not saying it doesn’t read in English, but whenever I read it, my mind registers it as a word/object. In English, it has those connotations.
