Which do you hate more?

When people spell Mikey "Mickey" or when people spell Raph "Ralph"?

Well, I've never seen anyone spell Mikey 'Mickey', but I'm sure if they did, it was a mistake.

Now, when people spell it 'Ralph', that gets on my nerves. I don't understand why people think it's Ralph.

As a Raph fan boy, I'll go Ralph, but both annoy me.

I went with "Mickey" because I misspelled the other one "Ralph" as well.

I now know that "Raphael" and "Ralph" are two different names with two different meanings and two different etymologies...but at the age of 13 I was not aware of that.

Both mistakes are forgivable, I suppose, but it's fun to be intolerant so I thought I'd make a bitchy poll.

I've definitely seen a lot of Mickey, especially among hyperactive fangirls.

I get a lil upset at both, especially on ebay items or things deviantart fanart stuff. I voted Ralph because I just hate it more.

I've seen Ralph a lot more than Mickey so I had to go with that.

Never really seen or heard many people mispell Mikey as Mickey. But a surprisingly large amount of people spell and say "Ralph" when referring to Raph, hell even people that have seen the movies, read the comics and played the games say it. Or maybe they just have lisps...
I dunno every time any one says Ralph I think of this kid...

Looks like my main man "Ralph" is in the lead, which is normally what "Leonard" does.

I went with Raph being called "Ralph". Mikey spelled as "Mickey" is a little bit more forgivable in my opinion. ^^;
