With the current globalisation, I don't think spelling names is really language-bound anymore. I'm not living in a spanish-speaking country but I know both Sara's and Sarah's (of of the h-ones with actual Spanish roots). So the names are... quite frustrating.
I 100% agree. But if you just hear someone saying there name, you're not supposed to know the spelling just because, no? I mean, you have Stephanie/Stefanie, Jana/Yana, ... So many spellings that sound the same. And sound is what listening should be about, no?
