Does it bother you when someone spells your name incorrecty

[Dreadmallon 353]

My name is constantly misspelled. My name is "Conor," but organizations and other people will often list me as "Connor." It gets annoying, but you also get used to it.

[Leatherbehlt 465]

Yes, yes I do. I always just wanna scream "There is no bucking H in my name! I AM NOT WHITE." Ironically, there's an extra h in my username. It's just one of those things that get to me, like when people mispronounce words or don't understand why copyright craps all over YTP (I still hate you Viacom)

[Wingnut 6,727]

My first name is straightforward and widely used.  It is almost never misspelled.  My last name?  That's a different story.  Usually when I give my name to a stranger, I have to spell it out for them.  And it does get annoying sometimes.  Why couldn't I have a simple name like Turner or Green? 

 

Wanna know something funny?  I once had a letter published in a Transformers comic with my full address.  Because I made reference to an online club which would carry on the legacy of the comic after Marvel cancelled it, I got a LOT of snail mail from total strangers.  I even met a best friend who I kept in touch with for about 15 years before finally drifting apart because of that letter.  The only little nitpick I had with this is that Marvel misspelled my last name even though they had it typed out for them.

Okay, so not many people get my name wrong but, my surname, NO ONE EVER pronounces it right (untill i have said it to them 189 times) IT IS SO ANNOYING!!!

[Nah 3,181]

Spelling my name wrong doesn't irritate me, after all my real name is easy to spell, Sam, too easy. My last name, Knavel, is a little more complicated, and people always spell it wrong, no prob.

 

But pronouncing it? Gawd they always get it wrong. (pronounced Kuh-navel)

My name's always mispelled, but I don't mind at all. I actually love to see the variations people come up with, haha. But I'm sympathetic since I know it's a little tricky, and heck I probably always mispell others' naes anyway.

[Virulence 254]

It doesn't bother me at all. It is a reasonable accident. If you just meet someone and they spell your name incorrectly, that's fine. If they constantly do it, it may get under my skin.

[LittleSis 62]

It's an honest mistake to misspell a name but I do get a little annoyed because I don't think my name is that hard to spell...my last name is a little tricky but usually people ask me how to spell it and I have no problem with telling someone if they ask.

 

What really ticks me off, though, is when people don't capitalize my name. I'm in 10th grade and people still don't manage to capitalize names other than their own.

[Derpy Azusa 272]

Not really because my names very common or people call me by my nick name or a special name that we have for each other (Best Friends) 

[Chales 129]

I don't get annoyed too much. I even misspell my name. My name is Charles but I frequently forget the r (thus my user name) or the s. 

[Aaramus 449]

There a few ways of spelling "Aaron" so, normally I'm not really bothered at all, normally people ask if it has two a's or not. 

 

The only time it does bother me is when I've emailed a client at work and they spell it wrong when they are replying to me. I just don't get it, my name is both on my email address and at the end of my email, there is no actual way you could spell it wrong but a few people have. 

[Krouton 13]

It's a pain when kids are given a name were the vowels are unusually replaced by "y", like in "Alyx", and "Madyson", "Madisyn", and "Madysyn". And that's not the worst part: When you spell their name wrong and they and/or their parents get all butthurt over it big time.

 

My name is spelled wrong all the time, and I am infinitly merciful and sympathetic to people who misspell it.

 

Now mispronunciation is completly different...

[Fhaolan 4,468]

_{My RL name is Allan. I've got certificates and degrees that spell it Allen, Alan, Alun, and at one point I went crazy and started to use the name Aliean.}

_{So, to be honest, when I was 16-18, it did bother me. But as I grew older, I got over it. It helps that now there are people who know me by other names, such as Fhaolan and others.}

My name almost always get misspelled, so I'm not surprised or annoyed when it happens because I expect it. I'm actually shocked when people spell it correctly, haha. The only time I correct them is if it's an important document or something

[cuteycindyhoney 13,283]

My name is hyphenated, and everyone spells my husband's family name right, but screws mine up with an extra letter! What's the deal with that? I think it's some dark conspiracy to get me to drop being hyphenated! 

(Actually, people always spelled it wrong!)

[Kyubey 60]

Considering I've got a pretty lengthy last name, it does get spelt incorrectly sometimes. Doesn't exactly help that it's Russian, either. :/

Even if I have gotten used to it, it's still annoying.

My real name is Isis. People often call me Iris, which kinda bothers me to be honest, since Isis is an easy and short name. But well, I can also understand that people make that mistake, since Iris is a more common name here.

[Golurk 467]

Oh sweet Celestia, don't even get me started. No one's ever misspelled my first name, but OH so many times people have tried to misspell my last name. It's really only ever a difference of one letter, but still. When my last name CLEARLY has an "I" sound in it, why would you try to spell it with an "E"? It just hits the wrong spot every time. Which is quite often. 

[DokiNaku 31]

My name is TJ. They will need to go back to school if they somehow manage to get that one wrong. My last name was a nuisance in middle school though. It was Flagler and many children were fond of leaving off the first L and then calling me by my last name. Bullying is no good. 

[Homura Akemi 974]

When I was younger, yes. I don't really care now. I plan on changing my first name next year or the year after that so whatever. I tolerate my last name.

[Ashley 2,427]

It gives me a good laugh, but I don't get annoyed. Although people misspell my name all the time. Is it really hard to spell Ashley...?

[crazitaco 596]

its bugs me a bit, but its just slight annoyance at most

it still amazes me how many people have trouble spelling my name, "Alyssa".

i've seen so many weird combinations, alissa, alysa, alisa, elissa, etc.

i actually don't care at all when people pronounce my name wrong though. alot of my family has a heavy accent and pronounces my name differently, so i don't mind

my last name is pretty uncommon, but its still easy to pronounce and spell.

[TimeFactor 10]

Mine's been misspelled and pronounced incorrectly so many times that I don't even care anymore. Granted, my name is quite unique and it's at the point where I think I'm the only US citizen with this name >_<

[~Chaotic Fireball~ 498]

OH HAY YES!! YOU WON'T BELIEVE HOW MANY TIMES PEOPLE SPELL MY NAME WITH A K and a Y IN THE MIDDLE AND AN N AT THE END.
(I would like you guys to guess what my name is )

Happy guessing!

[SailorCardKnight 84]

I can live with people misspelling my name, because at least those people actually remember my real name. What irks me more is when people call me everything but my actual name.

 

My name is Katrina but for some reason everyone keeps calling me "Katie" "Kathy" "Katelyn" "Kathrine" etc. It drives me nuts!

 

So yeah, I'll take "Catrina" any day, because at least it *sounds* correct.
