[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would talk to her in person about it.

FWIW, my name is (something like) Bailey and I have a pretty senior person on my team who spells it Baileigh EVERY TIME. I've worked with her for 7 years. It does annoy me. But then I realized she is from another country where that spelling is more common. It doesn't sound likely in your case, but maybe she knows someone with a similar name and it is spelled that way, so her brain just always goes to that. [/quote]

OP here.  No, it's not a similar situation. She is literally just spelling my name phonetically because I think it's "easier" for her to do. Similar to spelling Barack "Burrock"[/quote]

That is so rude.  I don't have any advice other than keep correcting her.  I'd correct her with every email.   I have a name that is often misspelled (along the Sara/Sarah lines) even though it is in my email address and email signature.  I don't correct usually that, but in your case I would.  As a PP said, I do, however, think a bit less of people who cannot spell my name right even though it appears multiple times in my emails. [/quote]

*usually correct [/quote]
