How have people pronounced your name? How is it supposed to sound?

My name has an I in the middle of it because my dad misspelled my name when I was born. (yes it's that sad) So I get an amazing number of ways it's said:
*Sheelly.
*Shyly
*Shayly.
*Shelby. (I mean honestly, from when has my name had a B in the middle of it?)
Though my favorite came from Mr. Pike, my US history teacher:
He goes up to a kid in the front row while doing attendance: "Hey you, am I seeing things or is there an "I" in the middle of this name?"
The kid nods.
I raise up my hand and say: "I'm here, and my mom and dad misspelled my name when I was born."
Mr. Pike: "You'll never let them get away with that, right?"
Me: "Pretty much."
It's supposed to be Shelly.
Without the "I".
