AIBU to expect my best friends to spell my daughters name correctly?

[IntravenousCaffeine]

Close close friends, those that are like sisters persistently keep spelling my daughter's name wrong. It's Madison, not Maddison.

I know it may sound trivial but it's starting to annoy the hell out of me. When my friends have children I make a note of their birthdays and correct spellings so in future years there's never any doubt.

Acquaintances I can accept and older family members who are losing their marbles! But I'm talking about best friends that are visiting within hours of you giving birth. They got it right in the first few months and brought personalised gifts (correctly spelt) so they have remembered previously. Perhaps it's just me - but these best best friends should surely continue to remember know how I spell my daughters name or perhaps they just can't be arsed trying to remember which version it is?

Ah!
That makes sense, IC.

I think when you have dc you often take stock of your friendships. :)

Most people spell two of my kids names wrong and get the third ones name totally wrong.

They get Lilley, lillie, lilly, lilli, lili. Cory, corie, corrie. And the third one gets called Steph lol. His name isn't steph (it's seth).

Almost nobody ever spells my name correctly. I don't care. I don't much like my name mind... Ds1s gets spelt wrong too. I've only corrected it where it's going to be printed/ written on something important like a piece of clothing or certificate.
