do people get your dcs name wrong...

[burgatroyd]

Just that really...
Perhaps you called Dd Emmeline and everyone calls her Emily
Or DS is Josh, just Josh and people insist on calling him Joshua.
With so many preferred variations, shortenings, alternative spellings, being used I wonder if this is a common issue.
Or do you have a misinterpreted name and if so do you wish you was called something simple and straightforward like Jane.

Paddington is your dd's name Elin?

monster Elina was very nearly dd2 name! Lovely!

I also have a Thea. People act like its a really 'out there' name and were a bit when we announced it.

She is constantly called Tia and it drives me mad! How hard can it be, it's 4 letters long!!

DS1 is Isaac Caspar. Isaac is fine, but he gets called Jasper a lot.
DD1 is Delilah Verity. She's fine but has had comments about her name being very unusual.
DS2 is Ephra Finn. Yes Ephra not Ezra.
DD2 is Rosie Harper. A lot more common and doesn't get mistaken.

No, because we chose a classic name that can't be shortened or played with and is easy to spell as there is only one way of spelling it.

I am often corrected by people on how to pronounce DS's name. How many kings of France were called Lewis ffs? I had never heard Louis pronounced Lewis before I had him, but now it seems everyone's doing it. Currently pregnant with DC2 who if a girl will probably be Emmeline. I'll brace myself for more name confusion...

I have a short, classic, easy to spell name that can't really be shortened into another name Bunbaker, people love to add 'ie' to it though.

Duck, I would always check pronunciation for a Thea, in case it was pronounced Taya in a German sort of way, which it sometimes is.

I have a short classic name and people still get it wrong.

My dd is merryn so yes unusual but not out there odd... People think it's Mary or Miriam...

Oh and ds4 is Rudi, people often think it's ruby... He is 6 and most definitely looks like a boy! It was more understandable when he was a baby/toddler though tbh he has always looked like a boy.

Oh and ds1 Theo, often mistaken for Leo.

DS is Brandon but people often call him Brendan which drives me mad.

I also have an Eilidh who gets called Hayley, but she corrects them fairly promptly (bossy 3.5 yo).
