What is the policy on names which are virtually the same as existing posters?

A recent poster has come onto the scene whose name is basically mine but missing the "s".. already been mistaken for me a couple of times by other posters. What is the netiquette for situations like this?

Politley ask them to change. It may be an honest mistake.

Start a thread in chat, with their name in the title somewhere, politely asking if they'd mind changing - it happens quite a bit, and I think usually gets sorted fairly painlessly.

I tried talking to a FlightofFancy and just saying, hello, look we're nearly the same! and got totally ignored.

I was only mentioning it. I didn't expect her to change.
