Do you correct people who say your name wrong?

Hmm i have avery unique name 'Aun' and most of the people spell it wrongly! So i have to make correction of it.

If any one say my name wrong, at the first instance tell him poltely to call me correctly. But if repeatedly say knowingly or unknowingly, I will have to use harsh words to correct the man or woman. Even after this, he/she continued to say my name incorrectly, I will stop talking with them. I caanot take legal action

i will always correct somebody who says or call my name wrongly. . so that the next time his/her gonna call me again so it should be the right call already.

No. My name is Isenia. I happen to think it is quite simple, but still everyone has problems saying it. They always call me Yesenia or Jesenia

well i will d it surely since i hate people who do such things purposely

Yes and they always get it wrong and it's just Marie! I don't know why they say Maria.

I do correct people if they would pronounce my name wrong, even when they pronounce my best friend's name wrong. I think it's important for people know how to pronounce your name or else they'll just be ignorant of the proper pronouncation.

my name is little difficult to pronounce santwana , if some one not able to pronounce, atleast first time i just try to correct my name , if he/she again and again do the same than just i leave it . My friends if found hard to pronounce than they just said me santu .

I correct my last name. My first is just so common.

It's a little hard to pronounce my name wrong (Pat). But some people have trouble with the full version, or they make their own shortened version, THEN I will correct them. Don't call me Patty!

eheheheheh Bayu kristanti is not easy name for foreign people to call my name clearly I always correct if they wrong write my full name. most peopl in my country wrong into bayu kristIanti. they add 'I' on my name. lol

I never correct people who pronounce my name wrong. I just feel it is impolite to do so. I will correct them however, if they call me by a name that is not mine and I will tell them what to call me. If I think I will never have to meet or talk to the person again, then I would just leave it be, and not bother to tell them.

my name is Saira and most of english people pronounce my name as Sarrah... and i alwasy correct them to pronounce 'I' after A to sound Saira rather then R after A... it really does effects me beacuse it is huge difference between Saira and Sarrah.... if i dont correct people then my original name will be lost and people will keep pronouncing it wrong all the time.

I have an easy first name, but a very difficult last name. I do correct them if they pronounce my last name wrong. I just know that if I were pronouncing someone's name wrong, I would want to know and be told, so I make sure I correct them when they pronounce my name wrong. I don't think there's anything wrong with correcting them.

Yes i really do correct the people when they do call my name wrong. But there are not many people who do this. but some time it happens on Phone, or Moblie, when someone asks my question.

I correct people every single day. I have a very hard name. My name is Irish and if your not Irish, you have no clue on how to say it. I hate when people say my name wrong, but I can understand that it's hard but I always correct them.

Well, I ignore them if they are not say my name wrong on purpose. I usually correct if people ask me to correct them.

I have an arabic name which is not common here. People pronounce my name wrong ALL the time. I just got used to it. They ask me if they're correct so I correct them. It doesn't bother me. I think it's funny the way people add in letters that I don't even have in my name.

You must correct it untill you friend call you by your real name.

Yes, all the time!!! Since I left my country, most of my discussions with the various people I meet, start and end with the: -"What is your name?" -"that" -"What???". They just cannot pronounce it, and most of them not even try. Sometimes I just give up, and answer in every possible variation you can imagine. But at least I know they don't do it in purpose (most of them). I think you do fine to correct that lady every time, it can be annoying sometimes this think
