SOMEHOW people keep thinking my surname isn't what it is...I don't know why, it's not that common but it's just a normal word!
N with my first name, people hear it alright, but jus normally have like a double take and repeat it back to me,jus to make sure they aren't imagining it, Yes, it is Fani, I am called Fani.



"I walked home alone that night. I didn't care how she got home, it was weird. I mean, I *liked* her, I liked her A LOT...but out there on the field, it was just different then. That was the last time I saw her. I mean, most people don't taste that kind of love- at least I tasted it once, right?"

People always split my name into two, but it's actually Annarose [one word]. Though I think the best thing is how my mum's name is Bharti but people always call her Betty, hence why she changed her name to Anna.

My name should be simple enough to spell, considering with first and last name it's only a two syllable affair! Everyone always puts an 'e' on the end of my surname though, it's Sharp not Sharpe!! I've also had Shape on occassion, I guess five letters is just too much for people these days.

My name is pretty easy to spell, but people always seem to think there's an e both shorten and long. There's no e what so ever. It's Joanna not Joanne and it's Jo not Joe.

and with my daughter, although must people do spell it correctly (some do miss off the accent) they don't pronounce it right. It's spelt Esmé and pronounced Es-may not Es-me like must people say until corrected.

My surname is like the fourth most common Irish surname and it's so easy to spell and yet people can't manage it still.

I always have to spell out my first name and my last name, and they still misspell it frequently! And as far as saying it...some get it when I say it aloud to them, and still others can't get it right no matter how many times I tell them how to say it! lol

Look in my eyes and tell me you don't believe that I'm right

Yeah, I get phone calls asking to speak to "kaytie-leg"
I'm like, does that sound right in your head, really, does it?

It generally doesn't bother me when people spell my name 'wrong' because there are so many versions of Lindsay but it's quite annoying when people who know me well and have had time to learn the spelling of my name still spell it wrong!





I put it down on paper and then the ghost does not ache so much.

Don't try to calm the storm, calm yourself, the storm will pass.

who thought it would be so hard to spell a popular bird named Robin. Even my school/teachers were spelling my name wrong.

my school system had it Robyn.
one teacher spelt it Robynn

People don't even call me my name anymore they just call me my sister name (paige).

Like i know there is alot of different spellings for it just god just go with the most simple spelling first.

R-O-B-I-N its ridiculous.

People have problems with my last name, I spell it out automatically now and they still get it wrong. It's like...erm, were you not listening?!

Also, at work, one of the managers spells my name 'Ammy'. Which is now why half the staff find it amusing to call me Ammy and Amy. I mean...AMY. Jeeeez!

I have to tell everyone how I spell my first name. (My dad has spelt it wrong at least twice in the last 2 years) With my surname, everyone either spells it wrong or says it wrong.

have to do it even now to my best mates
