Cool Names (And People Who Can't Spell Them)

My whine, besides people who spill coffee on me at work - people who cannot spell even simple names. Like Mine. Jaye Jang is my posted name here. Not my real name, but "close enough for government work." How I got it? Just two of the mispellings of my actual name, which I have gotten in the mail so far. Now, my name has one syllable and four letters - none of which are identical. But people cannot spell it. Jaye and Jang are two mispellings. It has also been spelled with a 'W', a 'Y' and even a 'Q' (go figure). I known I am not the only one who has this problem? But it bugs me.

As a beauity I am not a star.
There are others more handsome by far.
But my face, I don't mind it,
For I am behind it,
It's the people in front that I jar.
-Anonymous.

Ditto....shiny colours, ooooooo

And I know how you feel Jaye, my time, although not being THAT hard to spell, is misspelled by virtually everyone, due to the variety of ways it can actually be spelt, and stupidity.

People always use one 't' in my real name, no matter how many times I say otherwise... that or I'm suddenly renamed Max...

My real name always gets pronounced wrong.

Deana--It's said like Dee-NA. Not De-ANNA.

Oddly enough, my last name is very foregin, and most people pronounce it correctly; they just assume that it's Japanese (It's Lebanese).

People misspell my first name. They always write it with two 's'' instead of just the one, even when replying to e-mails where they can clearly see that it is spelled with a single 's'.

But I'm over it.

That truly is an amazing avatar.

Nobody can spell or say my real name. It is... dun dun dun.. Quinby. I fuckin' hate it, please don't ever call me that. Nobody can spell/pronounce my last name either (Kielt).

People either call me "Seera", when it's Sierra. See-air-uh. Samantha, Sarah, and quite a few times I've been called "Sigh-air-uh." There are more, but those are the only ones I can think of off the top of my head.
