[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm Sara and often get Sarah. It bugged me in elementary school (really sucked never finding a pencil or barrette with my name spelled right) but as an adult, I really don't care. At all. Sure, it's rude of the person to always spell your name wrong, but in the grand scheme of things it's really not a big deal. Global warming and starving families are a big deal, how a random coworker spells your name isn't. If it ever comes to a point where you really don't know who she's referring to (me Sara or Sarah from the other department) then bring it up, but as long as you know she is talking about you, let it go. If she does it in front of a client, correct it to the client and turn it into a little joke or amusing anecdote.[/quote]

Same story, different name but mine was also mispronounced because it was, at the time, uncommon. As a kid it bothered me a lot which is probably why I am sensitive to it as an adult and always make sure I know kids names.  I ignore it now, doesn't bother me.  It's rude and insensitive but many people are.[/quote]
