Bad Spelling Hall of Fame

From 1929, the most awful spelling of Eloise ever: Ellawease. There were 5 girls named Ellawease in the USA that year, and none before or since.

 From 1988-2011, there have been 489 girls named Analyse. I'm pretty sure this is an alternate spelling of Anneliese/Annalise, but it is still kind of funny.

Between 1988 and 1991, 24 girls were named Apiffany. I guess it's a combo of Ephiphany and Tiffany?
