Seriously none of you guys should be complaining...
try having a name like Shadi - not only did I have to fcuking deal with kids in elementary singing 'shadi shadi sitting on the potty' but everyone ALWAYS thinks it's some sort of nickname. Explaining to everyone I meet that it's not a reference to a shot gun, shot glass or claiming the passenger seat is a pain in the ass. Having to explain that it's not derived from Slim Shady makes me want to cry and is the surest way to piss me off. NONE of you should be complaining |

People always call me TAR-A when my name sounds likes TER-A, and because of this they spell my name TERA because of the way it sounds.
It use to annoy me, but one time i liked my english teacher so much i let her call me TAR-A the whole year. To this day, and i do still see her, she calls me TAR-A. I correct everyone else though. |

my last name is duerr. everyones allways like , "So did you you do-her?" and things like that... Now, It would be cool if I was this womanizing so and so who does rather well in that department... but unfortunately this is not the case for me, so its kind of just this sad irony that looms over my head. :P |

I'm the opposite of Rhia.
Everyone my whole life has just called me Nat. It's SO WEIRD when people call me Natalie. Some work associates do, and my bf's family, but his little brother calls me Nat-Nat, which is probably the most adorable thing ever. Oh, and I think three people ever (yes, Tars, you are one!) have called me Nattie. Nats is another fan favourite. I actually prefer to be called one of my nicknames rather than Natalie. I dunno why, I guess I'm just a pretty laid back, casual person and Natalie sounds too professional for regular use. It would be like everyone calling my boyfriend Timothy rather than Tim. WEIRD. My last name is the one that bothers me. It's Payer. Like, PIE-YAY. Not PAYER or PAY-YAY. It's French, so I understand that no one gets it on the first try, but after I correct them and explain why it is pronounced the way it is, you'd think they'd get it right the next time! Nope. Oh, and my favourite is when people finally DO get my last name, then they think that because my last name is French my first name is automatically spelled with the "h", Nathalie. Augh!

Nor should some stranger insist that CANNOT be your name, or that you must be spelling it wrong. Some babies on a school ground don't bother me - sticks and stones. Adults who claim to be as much, that is another story. |

I can only think of one time that my name was pronounced wrong..or just by one person I should say. My English 11 teacher who was this like 90 year old nun use to try soo hard to pronounce my name. When really the harder you try the more difficult you are making it for your self. Sofia is not pronounced Sew-fiah or Sew-fhi-ah. It's just So-fia lol I think that other then that it's just the spelling of it. It's with an 'f' not a 'ph' - oh and also my name is NOT Sofie haha gah!
Avana I feel your pain. You should ask Carrie about our Socials teacher in high school; called her Carolynn all the freakin time. And she got to the point where she wouldn't answer her when she called on her for something. She use to actually get in trouble for not answering then one day she said my name is CAROLINE! Get it right!! haha |
