Ha..that is funny. But I wouldn't be too hard on the guy. At least he signed it for you and I'm sure he's more experienced in running into folks who have unorthodox spellings of common names. I've seen my name, "Jason", spelled "Jaison" and "Jayson". I'm sure there are odd variations of "Billy": "Billie", "Billee", etc.
