...when people mess up your name??
Especially when u KNOW ya name ain't THAT hard to pronounce...
people mess up all kindz of namez in all kindz of wayz...
What are some ways u've heard your name mispronounced?
ok, my name is Jameya...pronounced "juh-MEE-yuh"
but i've heard people pronounce it...."juh-MAY-yuh"..."juh-MY-yuh"....nah, but what has taken the cake..."juh-MILL-uh"...and "juh-MILL-YUH"...there isn't ONE DAMN "L" in my name, so y do some folkz insist 2 put @ least one of them jointz in it?!?!?!
"juh-mee-yuh" seemz like such the obvious way of pronouncin' it - i just don't understand....
people have gotten a LOT better about pronouncin' it since i've been in college - students AND professors...but elementary school up 2 high school...GOODness, i heard some of EVERYthing...
i don't know if it'z 'cuz i've been thru name mispronunciation so much in my life and therefore try 2 make an effort 2 get people's names right...but most of the time, i spell and pronounce people's names correctly the 1st time...they're alwayz like ...but really, i think some people just think too hard about it, which iz what lead 'em 2 error
MY NAME IS TIFFANY, BUT OLD PEOPLE CALL ME STEPHANIE. AND I'M SO SERIOUS, EVERY ELDERLY PERSON THAT I KNOW CALLS ME STEPHANIE. I DON'T CORRECT THEM, I JUST ANSWER TOO IT, THEY KINDA HARD OF HEARING ANYWAYS.
Is it?!? Imagine being a girl with the name Demetris.
If one mo' person calls me Demetrius...
But I also get...
:arrow: Demetra
:arrow: Demetri
:arrow: Somebody called me Demerris once...I was like, "wtf? who?"
But it's usually the spelling that gets people the worst...
:arrow: Demetrius
:arrow: Demetrice
:arrow: Demetrus
:arrow: Dimitrius
So annoying :arrow:
