My name is Autumn-Rose... I don't see why its so hard to spell.. Its two pretty common basic words, but people love to spell it Autum or as all my family spells it.. Automn. I have heard a few different parodies to it also, the favorite of many is Au-dumb or Nosie Rosie..
Haha, I love my hippy name <3 |

If people are really clueless, they'll say deBORah. But that rarely happens. Most of the time, my name gets spelled wrong though. People spell it phonetically - Debra - which is, another spelling of the name, Deborah. But me, I spell it Deborah.

My name is supposed to be pronounced EEE-Lane.
Sometimes people call me Uhhh-Lane, but I'm ok with that.. Some subs called me Uhh-Lane-Eee.  That used to piss me off.And once someone called me Eileen. I was like WTF?  People spell my name wrong a lot. They usually spell it Elan or Elene or Elane. It's supposed to be spelled Elaine.

Thats extremely wierd. They don't even spell the same name.. I think people are just stupid and forgot how to think things through all the way. I've never mis-spelled anyones name wrong. Which is rather odd. We have people from other countries come to my school, and I always get put in groups with them. They say their name and I just write it down and some how its always right. -shrugs- But Jackie = Jaclyn -shakes head- |

Even as seniors, people still mess up the name Melissa. It is not Mellisa, it is not Melisa, it is not Mellsa. It's not that hard.

All the time. One of my teachers still doesn't know how to say it and calls me Sa-oh-ri and sometimes sounds like sorry. But i don't really care. Most of the subs say it wrong too and then try to say my last name which isn't much better.

Yes. I don't believe I have ever met a new person and they call me Brenden the first time. It's always "Brandon" "Brendon" "Brendan" "Brandan" haha. I pretty much respond to them all because I'm so used to it.
