* In ''WebAnimation/HunterTheParenting'', when the vampires throw around the names of their clans and factions, Kitten stops to write them down. But since he doesn't know how to spell them, he also asks for clarifications; for example, when a vampire who heavily trills his r's mentions the Brujah, Kitten asks if it's spelled with a j or h, and for how many r's.

* Averted in Creator/LMMontgomery's ''Literature/AnneOfGreenGables'' series. Anne often introduces herself as "Anne Shirley. Anne--spelled with an E", to ward off those who would misspell it.

This trope is less of an issue in languages that have spelling systems that provide less ambiguity than English, but may still manifest itself to some degree. And in some languages, such as Japanese, [[AlternateCharacterReading the issue is even worse.]]

* Averted in ''Series/{{Survivor}}'', where misspellings are par for the course at Tribal Council. Under the circumstances, it would be a major mistake to ask how a name is spelled - why would you need to know unless you're going to make a move against them?
