I have a first name that is similar to another better known name, a little like Hannah/Anna. Mine isn't as common as those examples though.
All my life I've been plagued by being addressed as the wrong name! People see it and assume it is its slightly more common variant.
At any rate - how do you deal with people constantly getting your name wrong? I ignore it if I am unlikely to see the person again - in hospital waiting rooms for example, but it does grate as it isn't my name!
Then when you do correct people they keep getting it wrong. I keep just saying 'correct name' with a smile but it does annoy people; I'm sure some of them think I'm actually called the more common name!
My name LOOKS very similar to the other one written down but are pronounced very differently.
How do you deal with it??
