How people Butcher your name

[blankedboy]

PoisonUnagi gets pronounced as:

PoisonUngi
PoisonUgari
PoisonUnaaargi
Poison...uparty?....garndy?
PoisonUnagEEE

That's why I switch to VapidTumor and Force, nobody liked those names though, so I'm still PoisonUnagi.

 

[Setobou]

lots of people leave out the Z or the R in the middle of my last name.

 

[child of lileth]

People always get the e in my name wrong. I don't even want to get into how bad the mess up my last name.

 

[SnowCold]

My name is Yotam Gazit (Yo-Tuhm Guh-Zeet) and americans keep saying it Yoe-tan Gay-zeet.

Godamn hebrew name...

 

[furry-ryuu-ken]

My xbox live tag: Kid Kamakazi (witch is spelled wrong*Bro did it for me*) people say kama-zah-key, kama-kaz-I, or kamz-key...

 

[ryanxm]

all my teachers seem to have some relative named manny and call me it instead of ryan its really really really really annoying after a while and i cant tell them what im thinking because then i would get kicked out of school...

 

[Toaster Hunter]

My name in real life is Robert, sometimes shortened to Rob. I have been referred to by people as:
Rupert
Roger
Rocket
Rick
Richard

Robert is a very common name in the English speaking world. I'm pretty sure I'm not the first Robert you have met. Also it is not Bob. If I wanted to be called Bob I would say so.

Actual conversation:
Other Person: Bob, can you help me with this?
Me: My name is Robert. I hate being called Bob. Please don't call me that
Other person: OK Bobby.

THat is why I hate everyone

 

[rekabdarb]

someone called me Bradley Ba-ker... like they stressed it was 2 different syllables, a short pause if you will. But noone can pronounce my account name

 

[e-mantehdragon]

People call me Beiber or Butler instead of Beitler

 

[martin's a madman]

People often forget that Martin has a T in it. Some people say Mardin, some say Mart-inn.

I usually kindly remind them that my name has a T and you should treat it like such.
But it's not like I particularly care. If I correct them I'm usually joking.

 

[The Youth Counselor]

My last name is Pang. People frequently pronounce it as "Ping", "Peng", and "Pong."

The funny thing is the "Pong" pronunciation is actually half right. In Chinese it is pronounced that way, but this is America dammit!

 

[Mumonk]

I use Mumonk for just about everything, but when ever I use vent (I play WoW) people call me "Moo-Monk". Its pronounced "Mum-Monk".

 

[Glamorgan]

My surname is Glamorgan. Instead of pronouncing it like it should be, they either say Glargamore, or make "glamourous organ" jokes. You'd be amazed how unfunny they are.

 

[Betancore]

I've never had a problem with people mispronouncing my online usernames or my name in real life, but no one can spell my name.
"Kathryn."
"Okay...C-a-t-h-e-r-i-n-e."
"With a 'k.'"
"K-a-t-h-e-r-i-n-e."
"No, it's Kathryn with an r-y-n."
"K-a-t-h-e-r-y-n."
"There's no 'e.'"
"Huh?"
Usually by this time I'll write it down myself or ragequit.

 

[SirDerick]

person at a restaurant called me "Daniel"
My name's Derick.

 

[Lizardon]

People always spell/say my first wrong.
It's Braden, not
Brayden
Braiden
Brandon
Brenden etc

 

[DarthFennec]

Jeremy = Jair uh me

I blinked there. It's incredibly surprising to me that anyone would fuck up something as simple as Jeremy ...

 

[thatstheguy]

For the most part I go by Unlicensed Professional. People either just call me "Unlicensed" or "Professional" though.
