I'm using both my maiden and married names professionally, something like Mary Smith Jones. I registered for a university conference using Mary Smith Jones. I just went to pick up my name tag and my married name is spelled wrong, so it's Mary Smith Joens on my name tag. I know my married name is uncommon, but come on, you just need to copy and paste the names from the registration list to the name tags. I did it to make escort cards for the wedding, it's not that hard. I mentioned it to the organizer and she said I must have spelled it wrong when I registered. I showed her the registration confirmation with my name spelled correctly and her response was "there's nothing we can do about this now". Guess what's going to be on my conference feedback form. I'm currently looking for white out to correct my name.
Any other name change stories? Funny misspellings?
