Yeah I do >__> Name's Bryan, not Brian. Sometimes they get it right though :DKenny789
I don't get how people can get those two ways of spelling mixed up... I know both a Bryan and a Brian, and I've never mixed them up /proud

Everyone misspells my name. I just give them a look and correct them if it's likely I'll be in correspondence with them on a regular basis.

I don't actually have that problem, but that that nobody seems to REMEMBER my name.

Having a name April, many of people seem to have a liking to call me with "June" "December" or with some other month's name. Haha. Very funny.

My name is Lucas. I can't even tell you how many times people spell it "Lucus". Honestly, how ugly does that make my name look? I've never met or even heard of someone whose name was Lucus.

My surname's English. I've been called Emma French, Emma German, Emma Spanish etc. I don't see why the chavs thought they were clever for working out my surname was a language and applying others in its place. Whenever someone shouted that at me in secondary school I was always like "Wow well done! I seriously haven't ever heard that one before" :roll:

tofu-lion91

Hmm, that sounds familiar... I can't understand why people get so twisted with those kind of names. If someone calls me as August, I will remake that person's face...

I call my girlfriend Ape-face when I want to make fun of her. :PJandurin

Woah O_o If you were my boyfriend, you would be already dead meat. :D

Lol, we have the same name!

But my name has been mispelled as Emilie... >_>

But the guy was foreign so I guess I can forgive him.

I hate when people have my name spelled correctly in front of them and pronounce is wrong by adding random letters that aren't even in my name.

Yeah, it's a pet peeve... most people don't get it right unless they've already come across someone with my name. The most common mistakes are missing the u, or missing an i. I'm usually forgiving though... since so many get it wrong.

Not really. It gets spelled wrong all the time, or if it's correct, they get my last name wrong. Not that either of them are hard, really. I just have to add 'with a K.'

Eric looks silly anyway. Much more balanced as Erik.

Then there's Erich and Erick, which are just bananas.

Sean is always what comes first to mind, and then Shaun because of Shaun of the Dead.

Shawn I always picture in backwards letters and crayon with a little kid trying to spell it phonetically.

It doesn't anger me, but it does irritate me a little when they spell my name "Jessie" "Jessi" "Jessy" or "Jessey" (yes that has happened before)

Is it really hard to spell Jesse?

It's weird how they mispell my first name, yet they spell correct my last name, just mispronounce it :P

If they can't spell Sam they shouldn't be writing on paper in the first place. If they spell Hoffman with two N's at the end it's fine, but usually they spell it right.

It can get annoying when everyone's first instinct is to spell Steven with a "ph" instead of a "v". :x
