A misspelling magnet

The generator records 16 spelling variants around Birmingham, aproper noun. Corpus frequency is #24,493 among 4,251 “B” headwords. Wiktionary lists 2 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 16 likely wrong-spelling variants for Birmingham, with forms such as "bbirmingham", "bimringham", and "birimngham". Every one of these variants traces to a single-character edit -- an added or dropped letter, a swapped consonant, or a vowel swap -- the kind of slip a spell-checker is built to catch. No confusable counterpart is on file for this word, which tends to mean the word is visually distinctive enough to stand on its own.

Our source data has no etymology on file for this entry, so its spelling is easiest to reason about phoneme by phoneme, absent a documented history. The correct French form is Birmingham, spelled B-I-R-M-I-N-G-H-A-M.
