No worries, I mistaken people all the time :P

 

By the way, nice to meet you Rolle. Very random, but your name reminds me of the Rolls Royce :cool:

Its so annoying isnt it!! I had to make a doctors appointment earlier today and when they ask for my name I have to say "with a K" or spell it out! Otherwise they say...no we dont have a Cara on this system....!!!:veryangry:

It's like on an old version of Microsoft Word, I'd type in my name Judy, and it'd say it's a typo or autocorrect it to Judith :sad:

well, people mispronounce my name often...

and i hate telling people my middle name. (Mercedes).People always say "like the car?" Once my friend said "mercedes! HAHA!" and my other friend goes "OMG. That's such a stripper name" and when I told her it was my middle name she was so embarrassed that she didn't talk to me the rest of the day...

It's nice to meet you too!:)

Haha :D Maybe i should buy a Rolls Royce so i could introduce myself "Hi, i'm rolle and this is my Rolls Royce"

or something.. :lol:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It doesn't sound so good anymore as it did a few seconds ago :uhoh:

I'm pretty fine! We went to a very nice restaurant with my family today and the food was great! i'm so full now :P

You? :)

sounds lovely! i went to a restaurant the other night for dinner and i'm not sure, but the salad dressing made me feel a bit funny... but aside from that, i'm doing good.

 

i actually have to go now (i have to leave for practice) but i'll see you around rolle! :kiss:

Ok, see you later Judy :kiss:

My real name is Thomas which I think is quite an old-fashioned name personally. I don't like being called Tom so Ted has stuck since I was about 10 or 11 because of my surname.

I think Andrea is a very nice name :) For a girl or for a boy!

well my last name is gardner...and my middle name is rose....so people always connect the two and laugh at it when they find out

 

I know a girl with a name like that. Middle name rose, last name leaf.

My name is awfully plain. Amanda. Last name as well. My brother's name is Ely, like E-lie. But a lot of people say or spell his name Eli, like El-li. Other then that my family's name is pretty straight forward. My friend's name is Clayo though. Lot's of people say Cleo or Chole a lot of the time when they read it wron. But it's said just how it's spelt.

I don't have problems with my name.. altought I don't like it a lot.. i don't care... loreto ximena.. well it's a common name here I guess...

hmmm well i'm happy my parents didn't give me a typical sri lankan weird ass name... because then it would take 50 billion years to spell out.

 

instead they gave me a spanish name... bonita.

and my last name, thank god is not a whacked out sri lankan surname, because those, are like russian last names like valerriiieee who have 14 or more letters.

 

instead i have a short portugese last name. go figure

 

so i have a spanish, portugese name. and i'm neither of the 2. :confused: it's strange.

bonita it's not common here but it's a really nice name

Well in my case I was meant to be named Károly... which is a common Hungarian name but not here where I was born and live, and it sounds like a girl's name... :rolleyes: fortunately it didn't happen so I'm really Carlos, but you all know me here by Charles. :D

i loveeee that name carlosssss :heart: you should let us call you carlos instead. :nice:

my twin bro's name is carlos too :)

i loveeee that name carlosssss :heart: you should let us call you carlos instead. :nice:

 

 

Ehh, dunno... I've been Charles here for years now- :thinking:

Hehe, bonita is very cool too!

i have a friend from russia and she gets the same problem with her last name too. it's 14 letters long and nearly all the teachers can't pronounce it correctly' date=' so they always ask her how to say it. she got really bothered with it, especially at graduation when the teacher had to say Daria "T." instead of Tverdohklebova. :\[/quote']

 

 

Here at my school, a few weeks before graduation, the principal called in students with names they didn't know how to pronounce. They had the student tell them precisely how to say their names so that they would not mess up come time for graduation ceremony.

 

So there was none of that replacing last names with initials! That's rude... because parents, friends and family are there to see their children graduate and this is a special ceremony for everyone going to see that person. The least they could do is learn to pronounce.

 

 

My name is Kara and people always spell it with a "C" even though I spell it out for them. It particularly pissed me off when I got a basketball season ticket and the card I had to show all season with my name on was spelt with a C. I guess people have some kinda thing in their head that a car is spelt with C therefore so must Kara. grrrrr.

 

 

gah! there are so very many ways to spell my name, that everytime someone has to and they decide not to ask, they just have the weirdest ways to spell it.

 

Crystal

Cristal

Krystal

Kristal

Chrystal

Khrystal

Christal

Khristal

 

and so on... I always try to tell them even when they don't ask, but other times, the spelling subject doesn't come up.

it must be pretty awesome when people are like " Hey! Hey Bonita...come here."

 

because they are calling you pretty all the time... So I guess you got stuck with an okay deal. :wacko:
