Morgan and Reagan. All the time.
If I introduce myself as Phil then sometimes I will get Bill. Aside from that though it's hard to smurf up Philip.
People do tend to spell it with 2 L's though -_-
Bilip Phafile.
People call me Amanda all the time.
I work with a guy called Alastair who in no way resembles me.
Also, my parents often call me George. My dog is called George. He is often called by Arthur. My parents are dumb. :(
Ashley.
I'm actually horrible about this. There was this one guy named Donny and I called him Tobli (like the little guy from X-2) and then it caught on and everyone called him Tobli because of a mistake I made. Another guy was named Tyler and I forgot his name so after he left I asked someone what it was. They said Tyler. I argued with them for a while before accepting it because I didn't believe his name was Tyler.
Also, there was one guy named Eric and I called him Daniel for 5 years before I realized. He would respond to Daniel, and when I asked other people like "Where's Daniel?" they knew exactly who I was talking about. I felt bad when I found out. To be fair, it isn't my fault his parents named him wrong.
Anything that starts with D.
David.
Damien.
Derek.
That kinda stuff. Sometimes things that aren't anything like my name at all, such as Jamie. I mean, I don't even know how this happens... but yeah. I think they decide my name and ignore whatever I say when I pick up the phone.
Nope. Never happened. Jamie. Plain and simple. Unless I'm amongst Mexicans who have a hard time with it, then I'm "Yamie" (their J's are often pronounced like Y's and vice versa)
Well at least it isn't:Quote:

I get Eric occasionally. I can't think of any others, although people misspell my name all the time (usually as Erin, which is pronounced the same as my name in most accents we encounter here, but it's [almost always] a girl's name). You'd think my name wouldn't be that difficult for most people to spell. It's in the Bible and everything. Then again, most so-called Christians here probably haven't read it.
I get called jason constantly.. the name is justin... hell at work i had my nametag... a person asked my name so i said justin.. they then called me jason for the rest of the time they were there, and they repeated "my name" over and over, i looked at my manager once and just smiled and did the shh thing with the finger to the mouth cuz i wanted to play with it for a bit.. when the person left one of the customers said "Your name is on your smurfing nametag... how do people smurf that up?" I just smiled and said "Well some people are special.. sometimes it is an extra kind of special" XD
There's a guy in the retentions team for my company (based in India) named Dhilip. You have no idea how often we hear his name as Philip xDQuote:

My name is Stephanie but I've had someone call me Sarah while I was wearing a name tag that clearly said Stephanie. For some reason I get Sarah a lot from people who forget my name. -_-
They call me stacy. Or macy. Or lacy. or Jayce. :/ Stupid Kaycee Name. Damn eeee names!
Leslie.... rofl.
But no. Never. Not counting a two year old that calls me Assley, but I kinda take enjoyment from a child swearing.
Dave seems to be a very common one. Peter and Robin are also favoured.
I honestly could not tell you why.
