To be annoyed to see my (foreign) name misspelt in work email?

[Startingagainandagain]

We are working with an external agency on a project.

I am originally from an EU country and I have a first name of Latin origin, but frankly not that difficult to spell correctly.

The agency lead sent me an email, with several of my team members copied in, where they misspelt my name, anglicized it and turned it into a male name in the process...

I have spoken to the agency contact on Teams and emailed them several time so they know full well I am a woman. My name is on my email signature so there is no reason not to spell it correctly.

AIBU to think this is rather unprofessional and to feel annoyed that someone could not double-check they had spelt a foreign name correctly in a work context?

Should I point this out to them or let it slide?

I worked in a job where we had to sign our names in a book.

My co-worker (right in front of me) crossed out my name that I'd just signed and rewrote it in the most crazy way.

Think Idil instead of Adele. That is literally the only time I got offended by someone misspelling my name. 🤣

I had this at work. My first name is a very common name but there is an English and an American spelling. My email address is literally firstnamelastname at work dot com. My sign off is my name. There is someone who I would sometimes deal with who would spell my name wrong. I corrected four or five times with increasing bluntness. Next time she emailed me I ignored the email until she emailed again asking if I had gotten her previous email. I said I had but assumed she’d sent it to the wrong person as it was addressed to someone else. She’s spelt my name correctly since!

lol. I posted upthread about my DDs European name repeatedly being anglicised and how irritating I found it.

Subsequent posts have reminded me that my late DM and DD never got it right either - despite their coming from the same European country of origin. DD still cherishes a plaque her granddad carved for a significant event in her life which has all the right letters but not necessarily in the right order!

I would point it out. My name regularly gets misspelled and I correct people it's the height of rudeness to me.

I have a name that ends in an A, but there is a more common name with exactly the same letters only ending in an E. Think Sophia/Sophie. The amount of times I email someone and sign off with ‘thanks, Sophia’ and get a response saying ‘Hi Sophie’ - as if they think I’ve got my name wrong!!

Drives me nuts but always feels petty to correct it.

I'm English and have a foreign surname that is regularly butchered. You get used to it.

I get this a lot. My name is of Dutch origin. Wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't in front of them. It's not that hard to spell; it's just a different letter. (Think Julia / Julie)

My name is regularly mis-spelled or mispronounced. I notice, but I don't feel particularly bothered by it. It's more annoying when they're replying to an email that I've literally signed with my name.

I get small mis-pronounciations, large mis-pronounciations, a similar female name, a completely different female name, and most recently a quite different male name. I think people just don't pay much attention.

My name is often turned into the male version. Even stood there telling the person my
name in person they spell it the male way often.

I would give benefit of the doubt for autocorrect sabotaging things, and just quietly point it out.

But it's not nothing. My name is part of me. People should try to get I right, just as I try to get theirs right.

Imagine if your surname had an apostrophe !

I get similar to Sophie/Sophia or Matt/Mark on a regular basis so I don't necessarily think it's based on your name being European rather than English. I have given up correcting people now and answer to both 😂 but it is still fair enough to correct people if you want. Particularly good if you can explain "that's the male version of my name so I'd really prefer X" - it gives them a hook to attach the name to which is likely to help them remember it.

I live abroad and names are often anglicised, but I ass-u-me that they have accepted the email name their company uses in their email address, so I rigorously use that even if it isn't how I would anglicise it myself.

If I didn't like the way I was being addressed, I would pass comment as it's disrespectful. Once is OK, after notice its absolutely not OK
