Today someone called me tom for the first time. hahaha It was funny cause the conversation went kind of like this(keep in mind now a days if someone gets my name wrong I don't even care anymore, and I just go with it now rather then keep correcting people):

Other person:"Tom, was it?"

Me"Martin"

Other person:"Alright, see you later mark"

Methinks to himself for a quick second"close enough") "Have a good day"

hahaha

[Steezy_IN_KC]

My name is Connor. I get Collin, Chris, Corbin....

The thing that really amazes me is how people spell my name in an email.

They always spell it Conner. Or think my last name is my first name. (Ronan) my work email is my first name and then the company...

Now I go by CR at work.

[selfiejesus]

people call me sabrina and sierra and siana (serena), or just by my last name with "little" in front of it.

in grade 8, someone couldn't pronounce my name, so they called me senerma. and then it evolved from there and the same person will call me epidermis, which is the outer layer of cells covering an organism.

i have a coworker named Serandon (pronounced like brandon), and people just butcher her name so much, it's come to the point where it's a competition within my coworkers to see the weirdest version of her name we can come up with. we're at serenadon now.

 

[Plankton]

my names will so i just hear it a lot, haha

 

[GregFlik]

My name is Gregory, but I go by Greg and I get Craig, and when they think it's Craig they do that "HEYYYY CRAIIGGGG" thing from the movie "Friday". I die a little bit on the inside every time.

 

[lgski]

My name is Mitch

I cant tell you how many times people have thought i called them a bitch when they ask me what my name is. really unbelievable. one time in gym class back in middle school, my friend got sent to the principals office because we were playing soccer and he screamed my name.

[Lé.Skiing]

I go by whatever people decide to call me now. hahaha

[profa_212]

my name is Ryan....and about 50% of the time people say Brian. If they don't really matter I don't correct them lol.

My English teacher called me Riley for almost the entire semester before somebpdy told her. I really don't understand how because she had to look at my name and face every day to take attendance and put my grades in. Also, even weirder, she called me Ryan for the first 2 weeks before she switched to Riley.

 

[1kewldewd]

My name is boyd but a lot of people here floyd. One of my friends heard floyd when I just met him and I didn't realize he was calling me floyd for at least a month and buy that time I thought it was too ackward to correct him. He still thinks I am floyd to this day.
