When I give people my name it's the shortened version. Only 4 letters. People still spell it wrong

I think I have about 50+ different variations of my name by now because of chronic misspelling. Someone at work misspells it a different variation every single time she writes it. It's not that hard it's 7 letters. mlp-pquestion.png.a1990873909fa6bbf9655c86b88f4e5c.png

It doesn't really bother me that much but it seems to happen to me fairly often with my first name, usually with different spelling variations but also on occasion with the wrong name entirely with similar sounding names and the feminine version of my name being used instead, had this both in written from and with my name being read out.

Last post was about my nickname that I went by for a long time. My real name is spelled pretty simply, but there is one apparently common alternate spelling of it and also it rhymes with another name and can easily be misheard. I generally don't care if people misspell it or mishear it, the only problem is when it leads to issues, like when I was applying to get my ID renewed and I gave them my email (which has my email in it) and I never received confirmation or a reminder for the appointment because they got my name in my email address wrong. :worry:

Your email has your email on it?

…. :double-shock:

My name can’t be misspelled but people can’t always get it right if I say it in English. Surprisingly…

Aw, come on, it was just a mistake. I meant it has my name in it. lol. 

Hm. Wonder what your name is. Hopefully I'd get it right!

You left your labels wide open for an attack and I took the chance :orly: .


I feel like I’ve told you already :orly: . Starts with a C. Would you like to buy a vowel?

Yeah, everybody pronounces my name wrong. It's especially obnoxious that one supervisor at work is always yelling my last name over the intercom while she just uses some people's first names.

 

Edit: Oh, SPELLS, I thought it said "says". Nobody really spells my name wrong, it's just the pronunciation.
