A few months ago my mom got our dog a really nice like $60 dog bed that Ellie just absolutely refuses to sleep in because she’d rather be in bed with my mom or on the couch. So my mom gave Josh and I the bed to see if Vincent would like it and it’s an immediate hit, he jumped in as soon as I put it down and won’t move

I’ve never seen this cat knead before and now he can’t stop!

What is the most likely reason for someone to get your name wrong?

My name includes sounds that some people have difficulty pronouncing

Because my name is "foreign" people call me a modified (e.g. anglicized) variant

There is another common name that looks or sounds similar to mine

People see my name written and read it with a different phonetic pronunciation

My name is often just so unfamiliar to people that they struggle with it

People call me by a former name/deadname/name I no longer use

Another reason

There is absolutely no explanation… yet, they manage to say it wrong anyway

I deliberately trick people into saying my name wrong because I enjoy mischief

Everybody says my name correctly :)

Yet another poll on the subject of name errors — because all things come in threes and mostly because the notes on the other polls are very intriguing. I imagine multiple answers will be true for many of us (goodness knows they are for me), but try to choose whatever feels like the most common/prevalent reason!

Reblog, if you like, for a larger sample size to continue forcing me to wade through too many fascinating name-related notifications. But also for sample size. :-)

my first name has a space in it and people often just call me by the first part of my name (before the space)

in recent events of that zoo losing the clouded leopard, it reminded me of the time i went to a large petting zoo and there was a free roaming little black sheep. cutest little guy i ever saw, soi went to the zookeeper nearby and said ‘i think its really cute how you have a sheep thats allowed to just walk around. ‘ then the zookeepers eyes widened and he grabbed his walky talky and ran

pirates of the caribbean really introduced an eldritch octopus man who kills indiscriminately and torments the dead as their poster villain and then you watch the movies and it's like, "oh no, actually the worst villain in this series is a small white british man who functions as the herald of capitalism" and that was very very brave of them
