So foa called me Misty instead of Justy. :( My littler heart is so broken I don't know if I wanna hang with her now.
What do people call you when they mess up your name? I get called Jason so often it's ridiculous. That or Dustin. Whenever I get called one of those names I just roll with it to smurf with people. At work they call me Duck now. It works. I don't get called Jason and now I have a nickname!
'a-hole'
They don't get my first name wrong. It's my last name that seems to confuse people. I've been called martin, mertin, martinez (my fav), martine, martins, and others that I can't remember.
Most bosses/teachers I've ever met call me Stacy, Samantha, or Sarah. For months. Or years.
(SPOILER)my real name is Stephanie
Feels bad man :(
I've been called George by an old coworker before. We were doing some stupid game to try and remember everyone's names and when the guy got to me he, very confidently, said my name was George. And thus I had a new nickname.
My driving instructor used to always call me Dave. He told me he also had a Dave who he called Paul. How he managed to confuse the two names I don't know.
Haha I always mix up guys named Josh and Kevin. :|Quote:

My phone auto corrected you to Misty. Because my phone has condemned me to auto correct hell. I hope we're still buds.Quote:

I turned very pink.
EDIT: Also a lady at work calls me Meg. I smurfing hate it and I've said so, I think.
Sometimes people call me by my name as it is pronounced in Spanish, and I just answer. Then, half the time, they smile and say it properly in an English accent because they realize they aren't going to throw me off with that silly trout.
But, generally, it's hard to get my name wrong or to forget it. It's a wonderful combination of common and memorable- not mixupable.
I get Josh a lot.
A LOT.
My own mother likes to make the mistake of calling me Paul which is the name of my elder brother, I wouldn't mind except there is 15 years age difference between us and my brother is shorter than me by a good half foot or so. Even worse on occasion she has called me Tyler, Tyler is the name of my nephew. He's not even 10.
People in the area I grew up often call me Stephanos or Stephan which is the Greek for my name. Some have even taken to calling me Steph. I'm not overly bothered, to them it's like calling me Steve which is my name.
At school I used to get mixed up with a guy in my year called Anthony but everyone called him by his surname, even teachers. His surname was Caitlin.
In work I once got asked if my name badge said "Shag" I wish I was kidding. To be fair the girl who asked was a new starter and I responded with "thats a little forward but if you're offering I'm in for sure." I did get laid there not at work but yeah.
Everyone thinks my name is Stephan. Stephan! My name is Michael, NOT STEPHAN.
I get Kaylee, Katie, Kimmi, and then all the -eys; Lacey, Jacey, Macy, Tracy, Stacy, etc etc. I didn't think Kaycee was that hard?
I get Dalton a lot.
I go by Joe Bryan, and it's a long hard fight not to get called Joe, or JB.
My grandfather called me Bryan, and he's the only one that did so it didn't bother me that much.
I'm going to start calling you all by the wrong name.
Okay SouthernOrderDeity.Quote:

That's not a wrong name. :confused:
yeah its just really cute :love:
Umm. Most people don't mess up Nick. But I actually don't like going by that anymore. I have been going by Nicholas a lot lately. I like it better. It sounds more... distinguished, I suppose. More smexy. I like it.
If you say so. *shrug*Quote:

I mixed up my brother's gf 's name with my friend's gf name
like 10 times
in the same night
After a while I just gave up.
My dad mixes up mine and a couple of my sisters' names
Like... ALL the time
He has for years
both my parents do that repeatedly. I wonder if it's a language thing bc they never mix us up when using Chinese names.Quote:

Surname: Towns
Which apparently they hears as: Downs, Townes, Townsend, Tones, Tons, Owns, etc.
The surnames are close. The first names are usually way off. People are weird.
Mistaking Townes for Towns is an understandable one. The rest are a little weird.
My last name is a very common first name, so I get called by it quite often. :|
Not only do people always understand "Allison", but they always spell it correctly, and if they ever question the spelling, always get it right the first time.
Well, in the last few years. Historically I have had a y, c, and an extra s inserted into various places in my name.
I get called Ashley ALL THE TIME no matter how clearly I say my name I always get "Oh, so your name is Ashley?"
No, no it isn't.
(SPOILER)My name is Ashton. It's not just a boy's name, okay?!?!?
It's too much trouble. I'm just going to start giving everyone pet names.
Ashton is now cupcake.
Julian is now dilf.
Megan is now sweetrage. (it was going to be "sweets of rage", but it's just too much even for me. Plus it's long.)
Clarissa is now puddin'.
I already made Melissa "Mel-icious"
Jake can be Teabag. I think he'll like it.
Stephanie can be Droid-ette.
I'm out of ideas, and none of those were good. I'll just give people random names.
Maybe it's time for a pet name thread? Someone get on that.
people never get my name wrong. They know better. Wee dicks.
I know a certain Irishman that calls me pho.
Also sweets of rage made me lol

If I have a nickname for you, I simply haven't used it in a while and forgot. POST
YAY I have officially been integrated into this online society by being aknowledged by another member in a post that was not directed specifically at me.
I've made it big time :cool:
I am assuming this is me and not some other Stephanie?Quote:

Anyway, to weigh in on this thread, i have been called Clarice so many times since silence of the lambs came out. Also Clay, Melissa, Carissa, Kristen, and Marisa. And the misspellings of my name... just throw in any random letter between c and a and I guarantee it's happened.
I fully endorse nicknames. But i only have one to change from the list so far, and that is Dak to Cody. :|
That'd be you. I don't know many other lady-bots named Stephanie.Quote:

No one mixes my name up with others, but people are always misspelling it. Erik, Erick, a friend of mine once spelled it as Airyk. You'd think with how often it happens it wouldn't bother me, but it annoys the hell out of me.
Airyk is so left field that it might just work. Reminds me of this air freshener brand we have called Airwick 2in1
What the dicks. Did this person think you were born to battrout crazy celebrities?Quote:

I have a friend whose last name is Griffiths. When he signed up for the poker tournament, his name was put down as Griffitotch.
I now need to add a character named Airyk Griffitotch into the next book I write
You heard it here first, folks, someone screencap this
Whatever, Steve.Quote:

I want to be in your book too. :(Quote:

I don't get people's names wrong. Because I'm perfect.
I pay attention when I learn someone's name and make a habit of identifying them by that name whenever I see them (even if we don't get the chance to talk or socialize in any way). The only name I've gotten wrong was a guy named Paulo (SPOILER)(that's his middle name, I think his first name was something he considered horribly ordinary just like my first and middle names) whom I called Raimundo (he reminded me of a character from Xiaolin Showdown... how many times have I told this story?)
People don't remember my name because everybody else in the world is a self-centered a-hole. I bet nobody on this site even knows my name... and yes, it used to be displayed in my profile... but now if you want to know my name, you have to figure out where you can find that guy on Youtube who makes an ass out of himself singing songs without music.
You get points for being a Feist fan, and I will ignore that you spelled the greatest name ever conceived wrong.Quote:

Eric/Erik/Erick... just not a good name no matter how you spell it. Eric with a "c" is an anagram for rice so it's suitable for East Asians and perhaps Mexicans.
Erik is too Russian...
Erick wants to be cool but demands to much with that extra "E" at the beginning. Just go with Rick. Although Rick is a terrible name too. Sounds like wreck. Just change your name.
My mom mistakenly calls me trout head all the time.
My mexican uncle insists on calling me Raquel because it either is my name in Spanish or is as close as it gets to my name in Spanish. One or the other, I can never remember.
My mother calls me Rose when she's upset with me, and my friends constantly shorten my name, Rach, Rachie, once it was even Roach. (I'm at a loss with that one).
Other than that, I don't really recall someone mistakenly calling me something else. Quite a bit of people have called, and still call me Julia. They do that on purpose though.
