My name is Sara in return I’ve gotten, Karen, Lauren, Sharron, Bara (that’s not even a name) and Shelly. I'm sure there are more. It's amazing...do i have a lisp or something?

Mine's Ross, and I've gotten Russ, Moss, Roff, Rolph, and many others. It's insane, but I just spell it out when I need to clarify. They get it after the 2nd or 3rd spelling, usually ;-)

all the time - it annoys me because it is not a difficult name - Kay - How hard can that be to remember?!?!

I have a very common name but after telling someone my name, they seem to be unable to tell the difference between Jackson and Johnson...go figure!

Well, Sally. (WTF?) I get that too. Derek, Rick and of course my elderly neighbor behind me asked me my name a few years ago, and I said I'm Eric. He replied, "Hi Merrick". I've been Merrick ever since. (according to him)

I hear ya~I go by Anni,I've gotten~Nanny,Danny,Sandy,Manny and I'll never understand this one....Yancy!

My name is Yvette (pronounced with and "e"). I've been called Yevette , Yvonne, Avette, and my name is always spelled with an "I" or and "E". My last name is Morgan-Hurley and I've been called Morgan-Humphrey, Morgan-Furley or Morgan-Holly.

My name is Val and I get Sal, Nan, Mel, Vel, and the inevitable "WHAAAT?" I love that one!

I have a super simple, common name so I have more trouble with places getting "the right one" . . . I always say something like, I'd better give you my account number. Usually they say let's just start with your name; I give it to them and the response is something like: we have 57 of those, could I have your account number? My wife on the other hand has an unusual name that gets hacked to pieces so bad that she's resorted to using here nickname instead.

yes they do....sometimes they don't get it...and there is a silence from their end. I say it again they ask me to spell it. I like to give them the spelling of a completely different name. Makes life more fun.

constantly. my last name turns into fuck...no joke.

nope. but they do butcher the spelling of my first name...LoLz...

yeah, my last name the first part is belch...... say no more.

Oh god yes. My surname is 'Algie'. (Pronounced Al-jee) and I get "Algeeee" "Algay" "Algo" "Algore".. God, is it sooo hard?? Even when its written in front of people (like on a bank statement or something, the guy at the bank will say something like "So which account would you like that deposited in, Mr Algay?" And I get all red & steam starts coming out my ears.. :p I used to get all kinds of insults at school because of it, & when the substitute teacher read out names she wasnt familiar with, she'd get to mine & go "Algie?" (the surnames were printed before given names) and lots of people think my first name is Algie (I guess because they think its short for Algernon or something). I think I should change it.. Something simple that people cant stuff up, like Jones or Black or Bond or something.. my brother's first name is Loran.. ( Pronounced LORN. think of loran green in that Tv show 'Bonanza', or the green demon in the Tv series 'Angel') He gets Loron, Moron, lauren, Lawrence, Lorn, Born, corn, you name it.. Couple that with our weird surname, and he really gets annoyed. We've got a phone bill that came in the mail for him once, addressed to "Moron Algay".

Yeah. We are refinancing our house and the loan officer keeps calling me Georgene. My name is Georgina, I've corrected her several times, and even in Emails, I've capitalized my first name and put it in bold letters. She still hasn't gotten it, so I'll just let her get by with it.
