this reminded me of a funny story I called my friend Andrew Andy once at school and then I had a spaz attack in the corridor cause no one calls him that and I have no idea what possessed me to do it. Suffice to say I sped went bright red and squeaked at him before fleeing the scene... smooth.
Well the way I see it Andy and Andrew are two completely different names. Ever Andrew I`v meet is Andrew ever Andy, Andy

People screw up my last name in a million different ways--most commonly as "Register." Somewhere, somehow, people add three new letters in...

My first name is generally pretty hard to mess up (it's one of the most common girls' names), but some people have bizarrely misspelled it as "Emmaleigh." Yeah, IDK.

A teacher of mine mispronounced my surname as "Cunts" once. God dammit.

Even worse is she didn't realize what she said.

Online everyone I know and people I don't shorten my name into Hara. Not that I mind. I remember one guy pronouncing it Hara-Day-a on a TF2 server. Prolly the only exception.

People keep calling me Furbert.

My name is Furburt.

Nobody messes up my real name though.
Jesus Christ, 32,000 posts!?!?! The fuck happened when I was barely posting?

OT: People sometimes pronounce my username "Jump-leon" or try to say it all in one syllable like "jumlpin" or something. My real name also gets mispronounced as Americans tend to have a hard time understanding that when something has "-er" at the end, THE FREAKIN' "E" IS SILENT!"

Well, I hate when people write my name as Kenny and then add in an "e" between the "n" and the "y"
Kenney? Really?

My name is Edilberto, for some reason people think it starts with a H,G or J. So everyone just calls me Eddie, that, or by my last name, Silver.

People have been calling me "asshole" as long as I can remember, and I'm always like, wtf, my name doesn't even look like that.

Yureina (You-Ray-Na) can be difficult for some. Most people just call me Rei or Yuri. Anything aside from that, and I have a tendency to yell at people.

Funny thing is, my father, in my opinion, even mispronounces our surname. Every time I call him, he can make it sound like it's from a whole different country.

My Name is Murray. I am so tired of hearing people call me "Murphy".
Also, my gamertag is Murricane but everybody says Hurricane.
Come on people it's an M, not an H.

No one can really mispronounced my username unless they have trouble reading.
I have been thinking of changing my username to "Argtee". I can see how people might mispronounced that.

People have never mispronounced my actual name, which I'm happy about.

My name is Devon pronounced Devin... I've had teachers that look completely over me with my hand raised looking for a girl or a black guy. I have a teacher that i've had for a solid two semesters and she still calls me DevOn stressing the O. I guess my name is better then my dad's... Leslie, it makes me understand how he turned out so rough and mean.

Wow I never really understood how people keep getting my names wrong but I'm looking here and I think I'm probably one of the lucky ones. I mean they could be saying it Gimetroomb(ok well that actually already happened once but not the point)

It depends on where your from, my old World of Warcraft character was Yarthort, people would glance at it and pronounce it Yathor or somthing. i used to play star wars galaxies and my character was named Manolani, no one could say that so they just called me mayo, some called me subway. Good times.
