I’m sorry this is so late. I’ve been typing this out between things all day! I should have just waited till I got home! Where I am finally posting from...
A while back DH commented that whenever he calls places to order or schedule things they get his name wrong. They end up having to figure out what was his based on what he ordered. Its happened all over the place. His name is way too common for that to make sense to me. He wouldn’t even agree to name DS after himself because of how common his name is.
Saturday night I called a local pizza place to order dinner. We don’t order there too often so it’s not like they know us. I gave them his name because he was going in to pick it up while I stayed in the car. He walked back out and plopped the food in my lap with the same wrong name he always gets! So apparently it’s not just him?! We don’t get offended but it’s amusing. I’ve started calling him by that name now.
Do you have a common name? Do people mess up your name? (I know not everyone likes to use their real name online; so feel free to be vague.)
My name is not that unusual but the spelling is not the most common for it. But people mess it up. Some family still doesn’t even spell it right.
When I was in school teachers and substitute teachers always flipped my names around. I know of at least two celebrities with my name. Its not that unusual. Clients used to mess it up too.
One night we had a waitress serve us and she even spelled it the same as I do. I wanted to ask if people mess it up on her too.
