[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The names Kristin, Kiersten, and Kirsten come to mind. I have a cousin called Kristin and the other two are coworkers and I can't keep them straight in my head EVER. I don't think Ive once called them by the right version of the name. [/quote] I'm glad I'm not the only one who struggles with this. The worst for me is when someone is a Kirsten but they pronounce it like Kiersten (Keer-sten). it breaks my brain. I don't understand how this has been allowed to happen. I also struggle with names that are almost Sara/Sarah but with a twist: Sari, Siri, Suri. I understand they come from other language/cultural traditions, I'm not criticizing the names, which I think are pretty. I just really struggle with them because I have a sister named Sara and it's like my brain can't deal with it. I will mispronounce these names years after I've met a person because my brain and mouth conspire to bungle them somehow.[/quote]
