Does Anyone have their names constantly mispronounced?? Sia

Jessamin

I'm Jessamin and usually go by Jessie which is hard to bugger up, really. But when I go by Jessamin I get Jasmine or Jez-man quite a lot. I wouldn't think it would be that hard. Jess. Uh. Min.

I'm going to take a lot of pride in knowing that I got 97% of these names write.

I'm Brianny Mickiela (easy as last name). brie-ya-nie mi-kie-la. It's ridiculous but in my mother's defense, Bryony is a legit name and Brian is my father. For whatever reason, no one gets it right. My FATHER says it wrong. (He likes to omit the 'a'.) Brie-ahnie, Branny, and Brie-annie make the rounds. After 8th grade, I finally went with "Bri" as an easy alternative then people started calling me "Bry". Now I just go with Be and wait for people to jack that up.

My girl's middle name is Leah but pronounced lay-ah. She HAAAAATES when people say it's Lee.

My mom is Jaimee. I still can't spell it "normally".

I will admit.... There is some crazy spelling for normal names going on here. lol. I got the Polish ones easily but not the normal ones. haha

haha this is funny

RoanneRed

Someone brought up a good point. I hate giving out my name at Starbucks or other food truck places where they call out your name or write it on your order. They NEVER get it right, even when spelled out to them. (Especially Starbucks--spelled out while they hold the pen in their hands...lol)

If I`m in a hurry or in an unforgiving mood, I`ve given out false names before.

Has anyone done this? If so, what was it?

I once was tempted to give the name "Wonderwoman". I just wanted to hear the barista yell it out in the middle of a crowded Starbucks.

Yep - I just give Joanne instead of Roanne, it's a name they'll know and I'll recognise when it gets called out.
