Narrative:

Flight from jfk to the northeast; clearance kennedy 1 departure breezy point climb rbv J230 byrdd... After executing the departure and on radar vectors; ATC cleared us to the byrdd intersection. Shortly thereafter ATC asked if we were proceeding directly to byrdd. We responded yes. ATC responded 'not the byrdd I want you to go to.' a heading was issued and ATC asked what we showed for the byrdd intersection. The intersection had been entered in the FMS as 'byrrd' rather than 'byrdd'. We were shortly re-cleared directly to byrdd. It would seem from the conversation that this wasn't the first time an aircraft had headed to the incorrect byrdd intersection. The remainder of the flight was uneventful.
