Getting your name wrong...Would this bother you?

[Anonymous]

There is a woman at work who constantly mispronounces another coworkers name. It is a different pronunciation than spelled, but is one that she is familiar with - she works with his person on a regular basis and she sees and hears others pronunce the name correctly, so why doesn't she? And if someone constantly said your name wrong, would it bother you?

I knew a girl like that. Her name was something with an iesha. I didn't see her a lot , nor talk to her, but I used to call her everyname with an "iesha" but her own. I knew a lot of "iesha"s lol

Like if it was one of those really hard to pronounce names, than its understandable but still annoying. If it's something that's easy , the person isn't trying to get it right. Especially if they spend that much time with each other. Also, that's what nicknames are for.

I have a weird name so people always say it wrong. I've learned to just ignore it when people pronounce it wrong. My high school English teacher always said my name wrong. I had her for like four semesters and my mom, myself, and even classmates corrected her, but she still said it wrong.

Yeah.. it would bother me. If the person is going to take the time to learn to say my name correctly, I would have a big problem with that.

its a sign that they don't care enough to get your name right and that's disrespectful.

A little bit annoying but I don't get offended that easily.
