Hi vimaal, I am not really bothered about how they spell my name, its just a speling because they can't spell properly. Tamara

I don't usually get mad if my name misspelled or pronounced incorrect I laugh instead of getting angry. If I noticed or found out my name was misspelled or incorrectly pronounce, I just correct them. The common reason why it happen because they never heard a name like mine. Sometimes they think my name pronounces as "Marvel" or "Maricel"

I am used to having my named spelled wrong because there are a lot of ways to spell my name. I just correct them and move on. Its when my name is mispronounced that drives me nuts.

I don't get angry when someone spells my name wrong unless it's been published and other people get to see it. Lol. Seriously, I just tell the other person of their mistake and just hope that they don't make the same mistake again. If they keep spelling it wrong, then I probably would have an issue with it.

I know some people do get annoyed especially if it is an unusual name which mine isn't so I don't really get that problem..I get annoyed when people shorten my name that really gets to me.

Hello Vemal, My name is Amy and there are only a few ways you can miss spell my name I think. Amie, Ammie I can not think of any other ways it could be spelled wrong. So the answer I would like to share with you is. Do I get angry when someone mis spells my name, I would have to say no. I am not a very angry person to beginn with I feel anger is a waste of precious time. If someone was to mis spell my name I would just pleasently tell them the correct way to spell it. Everyone I think is entitled to mistakes and mis spelling a name should be one of them. Have a blessed day Vemal

Yea, Vimal, I hate it when people spell my name wrong or call me names other then my real name which is Bart. Usually, my last name is the one that gives people problems though, because it is eleven letters long and kind of unusual. So, why did you use vimaal as you screen name? LOL! Happy MyLotting...

Not really angry but annoyed that it is misspelled. If you have to write my name then you should do it properly or don't spell it at all. Names should be remembered especially spellings. It would cause embarrassment if this error is committed, so people must be extra careful.

No, coz i know that the spelling of my name is not that common. My name is Rocel. You read it like R-O-S-E-L. Usually people always spell it wrongly, writing my name like Roselle, Rosselle, or Rusel. In other way i understand them. And besides, the spelling doesn't matter at all, as long as that person knows you and never forget you.
