Hello, Durwood: Adventures in Name-spelling

My given first name is Darryl. Over the years people have spelled it in any number of entertaining ways. I've seen too many to spread here. The most-used include Daryl, Darrel, Derrell, Dirrl, and of course Durwood (for those who remember the TV show Bewitched).

One of my favorites was Darrly, as if I am an adverb.
But this is by far the most unique spelling I have seen. DARRYRL. Don't injure yourself trying to speak it aloud.
