I agree that we should, indeed insist on the correct spelling of names. “Lawrence,” “Ann,” “Linda,” and “Lynn” are frequently misspelled. “Nannette” seems to be misspelled more often than it is spelled correctly (spelling it with only two “n’s” is wrong). Even the wife of George W. Bush’s vice president insisted on spelling her first name wrong!

Phillipe is also spelled Phillippe, Philip, and some other obscure ways ~ they are all correct. The differences arise out of history and containing language.
