This is heavily inspired by @itsjustjack’s new How Would You Spell… thread, but I felt there was a different enough premise that I could get away with it.
The way it works is that you phonetically write out the way a name is pronounced, and the next person has to guess how it would be spelt. For common names, this basically functions as guess-which-of-the-common-spellings-this-is, but can be used for testing unusual ones too. Basically, if someone introduced themself to you as this, how would you guess it spelt.

third poster:
Selondine? (Sappho: it’s actually Celandine, but the point isn’t to always be right)
my-uh-ruh?
Have fun!
The first one is mel-uh-ZEEN
