[quote=Anonymous]OP, many people are not detail-oriented. My own mother and sisters have misspelled my kids’ names since they were born and they are in their 20s now. It’s annoying and I will correct them if I have the energy. They are not doing it on purpose. In their heads, the kids’ names are spelled a certain way. I make a point of spelling people’s names right since spelling is important to me. People also like to shorten names. My father gave me a pretty German name and I think I only heard him use my full name a handful of times. He always shortened it and not in a traditional way (like calling an Angelina Lina and not Angie). Try not to take it personally. [/quote]
