You'd think with a simple, two syllable, five letter name like INGLE, 
there would be  no spelling problem. Ha!
First thing that happens is that someone takes the I  off and adds an E, 
changing it from a Scots name meaning fire to a German name meaning angel.
Or someone will spell it with an added S as the end. Or maybe both the E 
at the start and an S at the end -- then changing their mind to make it 
INGEL, and then put and place the other things possible.
It's is bad enough that the Scots themselves started with a perfectly 
good Gaelic word, Aingael which sound more like Ingle, and changed it to 
that.
Even in Scotland there are variations.
The thing is to shrug and  correct as needed and forget the rest. I will 
now return to being an Ingle sitting by the ingle and  enjoying a dram 
of usque baugh while the world goes about its business of  name game.
Don  Ingle -- with an I of course.
