The 61-year-old grandfather Alan Grainger learned he had spelled his name incorrectly throughout his life.”I’m 61 years old and have spelled my name incorrectly my entire life… I even got a tattoo, but the error was so obvious,” Grainger added.
He recently discovered his birth certificate, which reveals that his name only has one L and not two. On his arm and hand, however, Grainger now bears tattoos of his misspelt name.
Interestingly, he has two Ls written instead of one on all of his official documents, including his marriage certificate and driver’s licence.The revelation stunned Grainger, a factory worker from Derbyshire, who was also surprised.He continued by saying that his parents had also been misspelling his name all this time.
