I don’t think there is any way to stop people calling me a completely different name to mine

And I really wish it did not bother me, but it does.

My name is very uncommon, but it is virtually identical in spelling to another slightly more common one. However, the pronunciation is different.

I am selling my house. It has been let out for over a decade with the same estate agents. They still call me the wrong name.

It doesn’t seem to matter how many times you correct people and there really does come a point where there aren’t enough hours in the day.

Weirdly, it’s only in the area I grew up in this is an issue. Has anyone else had this?

Lots of people stick a random 's' on the end of our (extremely common and only has four letters) surname, turning it from the singular to the plural. Think 'Kites' instead of 'Kite' but not that, obviously.

I've come to the conclusion that people are just dim.

Titania pronounced with a slightly long first 'a' in all the productions of A Midsummer Night's Dream that I've ever seen - Tit-AH-nia.

I vaguely know someone called Titania who pronounces with a short 'a' though - like the a in cat. It's not you is it?!

is it something similar to people calling you alesha? but your name is pronounced alicia (ah-li-si-a)?

some people at my work put the pronunciation underneath and people STILL say it completely wrong!

irks me and it’s not even my name!

Are you being serious? My name is not “silly” or “made up” in any way, it’s just not that common in this country. Do you go abroad and correct people’s names there, too? Just because you haven’t heard a name before or can’t be bothered to pronounce it correctly/educate yourself, doesn’t make you right. It makes you RUDE.

I have a very common everyday name that is spelled the way everyone would spell it. I am often called by 2 similar names and have no idea why.
