Receiving calls and people mispronouncing your name

[articx]

My name isn't difficult, but no, it would not bother me to hear my name mispronounced.

[ladavia89]

My name is Tasha and I still get people pronouncing it wrong. I don't think a 5 letter name would be that complicated

[nguzman1]

No my name is easy but I do feel dumb when I can't pronounce someone's name so I apologize before hand.

[sfreeman8]

No one mispronounces my name but the name of my town is quite different. The only people who can pronounce it is people who live here and those that may have moved away but work for a company I may place orders with and/or telemarketers.

Maybe I'm mean, but I usually let others try to pronounce it and then laugh about it with them. We make a game of it - 3 strikes you're out. Yes, when they hear how to prounounce it, they laugh too. It brightens up their day and they learn something they will never forget.

I get that all the time.
Especially when that ask for my dad.
Sometimes, because my name sounds spanish, people start talking to us in Spanish.
I just think its funny.

[batmobile]

o i hate that... lol i just tell em call back when u get it right

[stretch1967]

If they cant get my name right then the phone call isnt for me. I tell them have a nice day

I think its really strange when people mispronounce my name it's so rare that people do. It's a very easy name to pronounce.

[ricdsm]

Not mine.  My name is so simple it has never been mispronounced.

I used to be a as they put it customer service rep. I have heard all kinds of stories. Especially when I worked in the christian room and they have you stay until 2 am. There are alot of crazies out there. The one night this guy kept me on the phone from 12 30 am until 2 30. He would not hang up. I had to have my supervisir get him off the phone. By the way he was a real pervert.

Both my madian name and married name are so easy but people are always mispronouncing it. All anyone has to do is look at it and know how too. But i have been told a lot of times that i spell my name wrong. Oh well if it makes them happy i don't have to answer to them.

[sanglee]

since i have a korean name, sang, people always mispronounce it, i have to make up a rhyme, like sang a song for them to pronounce it right

[dixonlsa]

I hate when people call you on the phone and they cant say your name even after you say your name more then once how about that

[cwilliams66]

That's how you know it's a telemarketer or bill collector lol. Maybe I'm rude but I hang up if they take too long to respond to "hello" or don't say my name right. I also hate when randoms call trying to act they know you.

lol no that isn't rude I do the same thing, its rude to call someone and not have their information ready to start the conversation.
