To keep correct the person?

[lunalemer]

A supplier keeps calling me a shorter version of my name on email (and randomly adds a Y instead of an I). I’ve corrected him once that I don’t go by this name and then he started using my actual name.

He’s now reverted back to this nickname. I just find it rude at this point. I have gone back and corrected him yet again. Aibu?

Keep doing it every time - it’s probably a mistake on his part but it’s not your name so not rude to correct him.

Do you think it’s definitely the same person making the mistake? If it’s a big supplier it could be that although emails come out in the name of someone more senior they are actually drafted by a junior colleague. Which would make this more careless/inattentive than deliberately rude and insulting. Still fine and not unreasonable at all to correct them but it might change how you feel about the error.

Correcting*

I love irony.

Keep correcting, and don’t apologise for it. ‘Again, Nigel, my name is Angelina, not Ange or Angi.’

I had an email exchange once with someone who's email address was (example, not the real one) [email protected]. He had no email signature so I repeatedly referred to him as Ryan.

After maybe the third time I got a response to my email that was " Hi, Paterson Elizabeth (again, not real name), to passive-aggressively point out that I had been calling him the wrong name. It was a bit rude effective as I no longer assume someones' name.

So yes, I would correct him again.

I tried correcting someone several times - and got nowhere with it.
It did, however, have an immediate impact when I did similar to him.
Think: I'm Victoria, he called me Vicki. So I called David Dave.....
