I don't think I've ever been called by the wrong name.

Once met, never forgotten biggrin

... I get people asking how to pronounce my name though. I guess that because I have a name that's a little different, people tend to remember it. Maybe. I don't know - I can't imagine what it would be like to be called the wrong name. It would seem weird but it wouldn't offend me.

Doesn't bother me. My philosophy is "i've been called worse by better". shrug

I spend a lot of time talking to people on the phone for work. I do get annoyed when they call me Judy or Shirley. I can understand Judy, it kind of sounds like my name. But Shirley? confuse

I hate it. I've been called Sarah, Shirley, Michelle, Flower (?!) but the thing I cant stand most is when people say my name in one syllable - it two syllables dammit! mad

My mother has routinely and accidentally called me either her brother's or sister's name, for as long as I can remember. Usually, at the most random of times, like when telling me to pass the salt or something. It's pretty funny.

I go through every name in the family when calling my son, eventually I get it right.

Okay. Dig this, at my school, there's only about a dozen black girls. But to the teachers...all of them are the same person. My teachers will ALWAYS randomly call me by the name of one of the other black girls. Okay? And none of them look anything like me. At all. lol

My God, I took the courtesy to learn their name, they could take the courtesy to learn mine. lol
