My name is Diana and gosh, people have a lot of trouble with it. I get called so many names that are not Diana- Diane, Deanna, Dana.

There’s nothing you can do, OP.

Do you live in a Red MAGA state?

This. Everyone knows the 'e' is silent. They're just giving her a cutie nickname. If either of you don't like it, then correct them.

Are the people who do this native speakers of English? Sometimes people who learned a language later in life will have trouble pronouncing proper names in the language.

Anyone who ever read Anne of Green Gables knows that Anne with an E is the more elegant way to spell the name.

Most people know. They're nicknamimg her. This happened to an Anne I know. Happens to me that people shorten my name . Anne is a great, classic name.

Get over it, OP. It happens.


I'm terrible with names. I know a Sophie who I called Chloe for a year. I also called someone named Ashley, Lindsey for a year.

They may be saying Annie, like Johnny or Joey or Bethy, not midpronouncing the name.

I notice many people who don't have English as their first language pronounce Joan as Jo-an no matter what. Even when I correct them. They cannot NOT split it into 2 syllables. This is very noticable over the last 20 years.
Back in the day, Joan was pronounced "Jone" and the Jo-an was spelled Joann or Joanne or JoAnne or JoAnn.

You can still honor a person without spelling it the same. Nevertheless, I would never think to call "Anne" "Annie." People are dumb.

Most people do know that. But some people (perhaps 51 percent?) are idiots.
