My friends and my name!

[Nameoe]

Honestly need to know if this would annoy anyone else?
I can't say my real name, it is very uncommon and outing but for example let's say my name is Izabel spelt with a z.
All of my friends will write Isabel when speaking to me. My name is uncommon and I would have no doubt spelt it out when we exchanged numbers etc years ago, I am on their social media too.
They constantly write Isabel instead of Izabel!
I have corrected them in the past but nothing changes, it can't even be autocorrect because my name is so uncommon.
It sounds stupid but it makes me feel so insignificant to them that they can't even be bothered to spell my name correctly.
Would this annoy anyone else or am I unreasonable here?

I do think that there are things that are worth giving headspace to and things that aren't. Yes, it's annoying, but is it worth getting wound up by? And I speak as someone who made a conscious decision many years ago that the unusual spelling I chose for my preferred shortening wasn't a hill I was prepared to die on.

My name is the same. To be honest it’s the least of my worries unless it’s for my email address. However, if they know it bothers you then they should make more of an effort to get it right.

My name is hard to spell and say but it doesn't bother me at all if people get it wrong. I'd be offended if people say something to me with the intention of offending me but I'm not going to waste my time being offended at someone just because they make a mistake. It literally doesn't matter. My siblings can't spell my name correctly.

I love my name and it's often a talking point and a nice why to open up with people.

My name is fairly common but the the first initial can be different. I can email somebody and sign it and they reply with the wrong spelling! Not exactly rocket science to look at who it is from.

NC as this is outing: my name is Julie, about 50% of the time my emails are answered calling me Julia. My own cleaner calls me Julia despite me signing every whatsapp message with my first name.
I just don’t get it, Julie is not that uncommon, isn’t it?

Yep it’s annoying as f**k and makes you feel unseen and unheard. My names Tonya but the amount of people who call me Tanya and STILL don’t change it when corrected, is way more than it should be. If they’re rude enough to keep getting it wrong, correct them every time. They’ll get sick of hearing it and should hopefully start singing from your praise sheet 🤍

My name is like Annabelle/ Annabel and it's the simpler version but I often get work emails with the wrong spelling even though my email address is my full name. I've given up.

Sorry - I'm one of the name misspellers.

Problem is, YOU'RE called Katie, but I regularly email a Katy, one of my friends is called Kate, one of DDs friends is called Cait... And can I remember which one is which?😳

And autocorrect is no bloody help because it remembers the name anyway.

If it's any consolation my own name is often misspelled and I really don't like the other spelling but I just suck it up, plenty of women do spell it the other way.
I'm also chilled about the people (DM 🙄) who seem to forget I didn't change my surname when I married...

I would say they are not very good friends if they can't take the effort to recall the correct spelling of your name. Especially if it is shown correctly on your social media and the regularly view you on there.

It's annoying but a lot of people just don't care/don't think it matters how names (or indeed words generally) are spelt.

It is plain rude though when you've asked them to spell your name correctly and carry on. It's as if they are saying "I don't care that it matters to you".

There is someone at my work who persisted in emailing me with a diminutive of my name which I do not use/prefer. I asked him several times "Lizzie or just leave it as Elizabeth but NOT Liz" but he carried on with "Dear Liz". I started addressing him as Davy Wavy. Miraculously he found he could address me correctly after all.

My name can be spelt many ways its only 5 letters long and not an uncommom name either.
I used the spelling that is on my birth certificate have done for 37 years.
Some add letters leave letters out change the spelling completely from 5 letters to 3/4 or 6 letters it still sounds the same just not the same spellings.
I let people get on with it lifes too short for name dramas.

Sameeeeee! I have the exact same problem and feelings as you. I'm always impressed if a new person spells it correctly off the bat.

I think that's what annoys me most when we message my name is at the top of the screen so it's really not hard to get right.
Just makes me feel I must be so unimportant to them that they don't even notice their mistake anymore!

I know a Julia who often gets called Julie 🤣 it's really not that hard to get right is it!

Infuriating.

I'm Jackie. It's there in my email signature, and email address for that matter.

"Dear Jacqui..."

I get this.. I have a three option name... imagine like Rebecca, Becky and Bec... I always refer to myself as one.. say Becky.. don't mind people who call me Rebecca. Find odd when people call me Bec, like they are overfamiliar but... special ire is given for those who refer to me a Becki/Becz.. that's a spelling mistake too far
