s/o Names

**O-Face** · July 2012

I get called "Chris" all the time. I even answer to it. I have given up on getting my real name. Even if I enunciate it VERY clearly...I still get "Hi, Chris!".

*sigh*

Back to my oatmeal.

I get "betty".

No idea.

ElleB87 · July 2012

I get "Chantelle" all the freaking time. There's no effing T in my name

*Barbie* · July 2012

I get Jennifer. ALL. THE. DAMN. TIME.

annoys the hell out of me, especially from suppliers or internal customers.

my work e-mails ALL have a signature. it's right in front of your face when you're typing your response. why are you not bothering to check the name of the person you're addressing?

I keep saying "Oface" trying to get Chris. Chrisa maybe, but not Chris.

I am terrible with names. There is a girl that I worked with named Michelle. But she does a job that used to be done by Jessica. I have referred to her as Jessica at least twice now. I've noticed that now that I work from home and don't always have faced to associate with names that I have a harder time keeping names straight. My brain doesn't know how to categorize them otherwise.

Oh, and as for just hearing names wrong...yesterday when I was getting my hair cut I overhead the receptionist answer the phone and say "I'm sorry, Cherry Blossom doesn't work here anymore." So I asked my stylist about it, because I'm nosey.

Me: Really? There is someone that used to work here named Cherry Blossom??

Stylist: ::screws up her face:: No. What are you talking about?

Me: The receptionist just told someone on the phone that Cherry Blossom doesn't work here anymore.

Stylist: No. She just said that Cheryl Wassner doesn't work here anymore.

Me: Oh.

Ha zsa!

The best thing a GM did at the mill was make everyone wear their names on their hard hats.

zsazsa-stl · July 2012

If I worked with people in uniforms, especially with hats, I would be lost.

6 - Do you mind editing for my name? I prefer to just stay Zsa on here.

6fsn · July 2012

I am so, so SOOOOO sorry ZSA! I don't know why that happened. Typically I use everyone's screen name in my head so the real names throw me off. Many apologies.

zsazsa-stl · July 2012

No problem. I've done it before, too.

ReturnOfKuus · July 2012

The people at my favorite Chinese restaurant call me Sylvia because I need an American name. I also routinely get Athena, Alicia, Alyssa, and my favorite, the blank, helpless stare and a stammering of "aaaaaaah..." And on one glorious occasion, the bowling alley where I was in a league, who had my name typed out right in front of them, sent me something addressed to "Atheliss Mylastname".
