My last name has a part that is spelt "aas", but frequently misspelled as "ass". I've actually used mistakes like this to my advantage. For instance, I took an internship a few years ago, in which they set up an work account for me, but they spelled my name wrong, so they made me a new one. For some reason, they never got rid of the old one. As a result, because everything was done electronically and rarely checked by an actual human, my work was registered twice, and I ended up being paid double. I simply pretended not to notice.
Both my given name and surname is Welsh in origin, I've had every spelling and pronunciation of them conceivable, and some that aren't! I've even had them swapped over by the NHS and Army in the UK, similar problems with HR Dept while working in the US the worst place was the DMV who refused to believe it was real even with a passport to back it up.

I'm currently in a situation where people can't say my name now. But I picked it, as I'm going through a name change. Real quick, my previous name made me so sick because i told people to call "this" instead of "that". Some wanna say "i like this name instead of that so I'm gonna call you this." or they just ignore my request. I... I swear to g-
So I decided to change it. Sure, my dad doesn't like it because he says it is a bad mistake but he doesn't know how many times people called me "this" instead of "that" and I had enough. :)
If your name is some tongue twisted methed up conglomeration of letters, don't get mad when I can't pronounce it without ever hearing it. I think people just look for reasons to be offended. It's why we call them snowflakes. They are literally laughed at.
I never have. But my dad said when he was in elementary school there was a kid named, "Damian." So he would always call him, "Dammit." "Hey Dammit, how are you doing?" "Hey Dammit, is your Dad's name Lucifer?" Etc.
My surname. For some unknown reason, no one can ever seem to pronounce (or spell) it properly, even though it only has SIX LETTERS!
The first name no (okay maybe only a couple of times but it’s an easy one so people don’t have a problem with it) but surname a lot of times. People often misspell and mispronounce it so I got used to it and I’m quite chill about it 🤣
That has only happened when attempting to pronounce my last name.
This sounds deliberate NOT a prank. I WOULD follow up with HQ. Someone needs to lose their job about this!
Detritus? 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Was it originally Dorothy?
That's like being handed a golden ticket for a harrassment lawsuit. They're lucky you aren't mean.
All during school, my last name was butchered, it is pronounced with the long O, not anything else but these teachers in the school was jag offs
People shorten my name even when I tell them not to. There is just no way to have a full name
Only friends and family call me my full name no one else cares it’s annoying
I really have no idea how anyone can spell my name wrong. I have the same name as a store, I have the same name as an actor, I have the same name as a guy who used to make commercials
Back in the day, I used to attend girl scouts and the basic bitch that was the troop leader always managed to butcher the spelling of my name in various different ways.
I used to get my named butchered a lot in both spelling and' pronunciation
It happened constantly when I was growing up.
Lololol! You poor thing. 😂
Nah. My name is pretty plain.
Nope.
Almost.
Naw I'm not a bitch
