aww, a woman rang up to say her last name was Paul, and her parents called her Peta.

She says she was happy to get married.

People stopped asking her "where's Mary?"

I also used to get called Rachel a lot.

"Brownie."

No way

I got Margret (which actually makes sense), and Rachel, which is just weird.

Yes, total way. *sigh*

A girl I worked with at coles called me Calloran.

always gets julia and it bugs the hell outta me. nothing wrong with the name, its just not mine

in guides there was a girl name hillary that we always called hirally

Most people get my name right, but spell it wrong. My sixth grade teacher after numerous corrections still put "Angelia" on every paper.

She even once crossed out where I wrote my name (correctly) and put it the way she spelled it.

ah that's just ridiculous! how dare you spell your own name wrong!

i know, i was being sarcasmic about the teacher correcting the spelling

I just got a bulk email addressed to "Cosolyn"

well that's.... interesting no idea how they came up with that!

I get misheard as "Ryan" somewhat often. I also get bugged when it gets written down as Bryan.

But it's harder to be mad at that one.

often Nicholas
