Does it bother you when someone spells your name incorrecty

[Mellow Mane 5,931]

People write my last name incorrectly all the time, I kinda just got used to it. These days I'm rather surprised when someone writes it correctly

[Muffinnz 3,219]

Yes, i have a polish name and i live in america so everyone spells it differently

And any who doesnt know me and sees my name they might pronounce it in a very weird way

I haven't had someone misspell my name before, so I can't say it bothers me. I've had people mispronounce my name several times before though, but that doesn't bother me.

[Emerald Claus 24,865]

No. In fact, I find it hilarious.

I have a very common name that is VERY hard to misspell.

My name is Olivia.

I've had a Starbucks emplyee spell it "Olivea" (He didn't speak English very well).

So whenever it happens, I just laugh my a** off.

It's not easy to misspell Lauren.  And even if it was I wouldn't be upset if people misspelled it.

Liam is an easy name to spell (being almost impossible to miss-spell), so I do get a bit annoyed (since it's one of the easiest names ever)

Your last name is easy A F to spell, maybe that's because Mc[Name] surnames are super common here  

[Sovereign Leader Rarity 12,006]

Meh, not really. My name is somewhat exotic, and the average teenage English-speakers can't speak English very well. 

There are more pressing matters to worry about in life than names.

[Sunset Rose 254]

When English-speakers misspell it? Not really, I understand it's hard for them to spell it. When other Latvians misspell it? Yes. They should know better, it's a common name.

[ShadOBabe 18,997]

Only when it’s someone I have to interact with regularly.

Like the person who asks for my name at Starbucks? I don’t care if she gets it wrong.

But I have a great aunt that absolutely CANNOT seem to spell “Katy” the way I do, despite me writing it that way for 25 years. And she’s ON social media, where I have it spelled “Katy”. Does she think I typoed my own name?

[applesjck 5,601]

My last name gets misspelled all the time but at some point I stopped getting bothered by it and started finding it funny. 

[Splashee 28,563]

You can't misspell my name. it is 3 letters, two vowels separated by a consonant, all being very far apart in the alphabetic order. It's way easy, see:

Aru

Okay, it is not that name, just an example.

Spoiler

Okay, now I want that name!

 

[ExplosionMare 18,062]

Yes, but nowadays I get my last named misspelled more. People add a ton of letters even though it’s pretty basic in terms of amount of letters

[Meson Bolt 2,648]

My first name is Nathanael. Yes, spelled like that. I'm named after the Bible character Nathanael, whose claim to fame was sitting under a fig tree and being skeptical when Philip told him they'd found the Messiah. Yeah. :v

Anyway, most people misspell it "Nathaniel". It doesn't bother me when it's some random stranger, but when my own family does I get kind of annoyed.

And everyone mispronounces my last name. It's rather surprising when someone says it right.

[Vefka 1,499]

I'd like to know how pronounce my name incorrectly actually

[AppleButt 8,675]

Yes happens all the time.   My name is Cory, but people spell it like Corey.  
 

No I don’t get bothered by it.  I just correct them and move on.  It’s a simple mistake. 

[Ittoni 538]

I'm used to it but I hate my name as it is so I've tried to change it for another one. It's just as hard to spell but it doesn't bother me.

[ShadOBabe 18,997]

A little. But I’ve made a point if seeing how long it takes before they figure it out.

[Thuja 3,659]

I'm pretty used to people misspelling my name all the time, my old first name, my new first name and my last name.  I'm more shocked when people actually spell any of the three correctly at this point lol

well idk your irl name, but I struggle to say "Vefka", the closest I can say it is "Vevka" or "Fefka"

[Tom Gallagher 33,581]

Mine’s not too difficult to pronounce. My surname ‘Gallagher’ however, is something people always used to mess up. They would often pronounce the second ‘g’.

Hm, I kinda used rules from Russian to make my nick, it can be difficult for other languages I guess🤔

Btw my irl name is Ivan and I doubt it can be pronounced wrong

[ExplosionMare 18,062]

Both my last name and my first name get spelled wrong all the time. My first name is usually a one-letter difference since people assume I use a feminine spelling instead of a masculine one. As for my last name, I don’t even think people think it’s real. Every time someone tries to pronounce it they sound like they’re having a stroke.

[Stardust 641]

Hardly anyone has sooo yea, when ur name is common its a rare thing unless ur misheard. There might be alternative spellings in other countries and such tho. 

[LeafFerret 3,382]

Yes, this happens sometimes whenever I order at Starbucks.

[The Kaeya Simp 13,988]

it's an easy as fuck name to spell so yeah
