[quote=Anonymous]I'm an Alyssa who is used to being called Melissa, Alisa, Alice...whatever. It's a name that's often misheard in introductions and mispronounced when read aloud. My rule for correcting is if it's a brief interaction with someone I'm unlikely to encounter again - like a nurse calling my name at a doctor's office or a barista writing it down on a coffee cup - why bother? If it's in a professional setting, meeting parents of my children's friends or classmates, neighbors, I absolutely simply restate it. FFW I have relatives who still pronounce it Aleesa so some people just aren't attuned to these sort of things and that's fine.[/quote]
