Names are often spelled this way when a Y is added to the end. This is done to follow the standards of the English language. Many names of your friends are spelled in the same way. Bob = Bobby, Ken = Kenny, Jim = Jimmy. Other words that are not names are spelled in the same way. Examples include real = really, fun = funny to name a few.
