people misspell my name wrong all the time. jonn, not john, or jon. jonn. even like on my screen name on msn says "Jonn", people STILL spell it wrong.

oh well, anyone?

MONI IS NOT PRONOUNCED MOAN-EE. LOL
it's mawn-ee. i get moan-ee a lot when i'm talking to people on cb.

It's rachAel, not rachEl gosh dang it!
But it really doesn't bother me much, except when it's hard to tell if the person is replying to Rachel [is love] or me.

my name is Deidre, pronounced Dee-Dra, most people say Dee-Drey or Dee-dree

Idiot substitute teachers that don't know how to read sometimes call me "Michael" by mistake.

They misspell my name =P

They put "Amy" "Amiee" "Aime" etc.

Usually my last name, since it's difficult to pronounce if you're not Asian/Chinese. Also on the roll call sheets, they're really skinny, and so the names are cut off sometimes and I am often called 'Michael' by substitute teachers.

they call men zen instead of zed or either ed.

Um my first name is pretty common so it isn't mispelled a lot; my last name on the other hand is Dutch. It's always mispelled and mispronounced. I'm pretty much used to it where I don't even bother correcting them. In one of my classes my teacher started to pronounce it and was like never mind we'll just use your first name. ha.

people sometimes spell my name wrong.

OlivIa.

there are 2 i's in my name.

i don't know how the hell people always mess my name up. they either say "quen" or "quin". especially at jamba juice. i stopped saying my real name years ago. i lie and say my name is "sin".

Yea..
A whole lott.
Because my name is Tajii..
And people get that messed up verry easy

I dont know the last time someone got my name right by just looking at the spelling. v.v

Yes, a lot of people spell my name with a C (Cara = WRONG).
And sometimes people pronounce is "Car-uh", but its pronounced "Care-uh".

No no not Britney, Brittany you freakin pop culture freaks.

There are other spellings, and most people are oblivious to the fact that my name has 3 syllables, not 2!!

Say it with me, Brit-tuh-knee
Brit-tuh-knee
Brit-tuh-knee

I'm a country for God's sake.

yes all the time! it doesnt help that i dont have an english name (jusun) and technically, its spelled wrong since its pronounced joo (as in juice) and sun (as in the yellow sun). oh well, what can i do.

I have an english name now, but I didn't always. When I first came to the States, I went by my french name.

People would pronounce Genevieve like "Jen a veeve" like the dog from Madeline, but it's actually pronounced "Jen a vee ehv"

And before that, when I just had a vietnamese name (Y Nhi), people in france wouldnt be able to pronounce it either. They'd say "Wie nee" and it always sounded like "whiney".

all the time.
My name is Alexandra and they always pronounce it and spell it like Alexandria. My last name is hard too. O'Melia. People pronounce it O'Malley. Its pronounced O-Mil-ya.

No, since Alysa is a relatively straight-forward name.
My middle name, Aiko, gets them sometimes though...

it doesnt bother me as much as it used to
i never knew there were actually people named Dee-dree, so to me it just sounded sooo stupid, like "who even has that name anyway?" but now that i know that people do, it's not as bothersome
but really, there are like 20 million different ways to say my name:

Dee-Dra (which is how you say it, ive already established that)
Day-Dree
Dee-Dree
Day-Drey
Deer-Dra
Deer-Drey

Yup. I've gotton them all too. I have this one teacher that likes to say Deet-tra. I'm like..."Do you see a T anywhere in that name??!? no." haha.

But there's a girl at my school who really does spell it Deedra...lucky, probably NO ONE has mispronounced her name. Unless there's something wrong with them

Thats how I thought it was pronounced!! Yay me.

Thomas - Good job. I've always pronounced your name correctly too, but uhm.. I dont think anyone could really screw up the name "Thomas".

Yes, most of the time they do. They spell it Titiana, when its really Tatiana.

Well my last name is Panck.
So I get alot of people saying Panick or Pank, or one time a teacher said Pancake?

yap....People often Spells it <Kawaii>
and they pronounced my name Ka Wai.......It should be Ka-Wa-i!!

Jessenia...

I get Jess-ee-knee-ah, Jess-en-yah... Jessinta... Jessica.

Try, Jess-en-ee-ah?!

yes, they put a y instead of ie [Eddie]
