    My name is Audrey, but it feels like I've been called Aubrey and Audra more times than my real name.

    My first name is Dawn, simple right? Nope. It gets spelled incorrectly all the time: Don (I'm not a boy thanks!), Dawne, Daun, I've even gotten Down, more than once, lol! Also when I get introduced to people 8 out of 10 times people repeat back Donna. I also get Deanna, Dina, Melissa (what? how?), Darlene. I don't get it, Dawn isn't that common but its definitely not weird or unusual. Oh and the nicknames, my personal favorite when people do the "it just Dawned on me, do you get it!" thing, lol.

    My boyfriend's last name is Kardasis but he gets called "Kardashian" all the time. It drives him nuts, lol.

    My name is Kara- that's Care-uh not Car-uh or carol or Karen or Sara or Tara or Keri or Kayla or whatever else you think it is! I will often purposely mispronounce my name to sound like 'Keer-Ra' and then they understand its Kara. Oh the joys of having a difficult name that's only four letters long!!

    My real name is Jaclyn but many people either misspell it as Jacklyn, Jacqueline, Jacylyn, Jocelyn etc. I really hate my name so much that for soem reason I get irritated whenever people call me by my real name (what are nicknames for? DUH! :grumble: )

    My last name.
    Spelled: R A U J O L
    Pronounced (approximately) : Row shawl
    There is no amaerican equivalent to a french J - but just think the letter sound in deja vu

    People first attempt usually sounds like Rrrr (short) aaaa Jewel

    What KILLS is when they say "Rrraaajewle?" and I politelt respond, "Actually, it's Raujol" and they look you dead in the face and say, "Rrraaajewle?" and all you can think is: FOR THE LOVE OF GOD WHAT DID I JUST SAY?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!!?

    I have a friend that just calls me Ravioli

    Forget the movie, Maverick waves are some of the best in the world. In reading your post, I read Maverick, not merevic!

    Oops! Sounds like word association is needed, I would be annoyed if everyone in the office constantly got my name wrong because they couldn't be bothered to figure it out. NOT that hard!

    My name is Stephanie.

    I constantly hear Bethany (understandable), Tiffany, and Stacey.

    Surprisingly I'm called Stacey a lot.

    My family last name is Basso - pretty easy, a fish with an o at the end. My son plays football...so the announcer, who has his name printed in front of him will announce if he made a play....names of Brasso (where is the r?) and my favorite DeBassio ....wow...kills me. People have to ask me how to pronounce it......most common i get is Bosso. So i usually say the fish BASS with an O... Bass - O.
