Return of VL, That's not my name #5million, and Screaming kids.

I've gotten Michelle too...

Never gotten Jesus, though... >_>

Have you gotten "Cocksucking motherf**king homofag Jew" yet?

I was mistaken for once. -.-

[Fenrus]

Leave off Jew, and yes... yes I have...

Oh the joys of being gay, and working for a primarily VERY conservative general public. ^_^

Ah yes. Living in Canada, Vancouver especially, I don't tend to think about that. -.-

Flee to the northern lands!

Mikey

stabstabstabstabstabstabstab

I hate people who call me Mikey... Mike or Michael, yes, I like both of those... Mikey just seems patronizing beyond belief.

And I can't win with names either, when introducing myself as Mike I get Mark, Mitch, Mick, and somehow Diane... introduce myself as Michael and I get Michelle, Mikey (DIAFB), Mykel.
And at random times I have been called, fag, queer, asshole, lardo (ok, I'm not skinny, but I'm not that fat), lazy lying cock sucking son of a bitch (ah the joins of cancellation policies).

You know, 4 years I've been at my bank, and they still call me Shannon or Shawna. One lady who was great with numbers (we have fun over there sometimes), once read my check, processed it, read the receipt for assurance, and still called me Shafanza.

LMAO SHAFANZA!!!!!11!@!!!! IT'S LIKE SHAZZAM EXCEPT SO MUCH BETTER!!!!! ROFL (note to self: SHAFANZA!!!! is my new victory cry.)

*breathes*

One more for ya - what's up with turning Jessica into Jennifer? I have been Jennifer, Jenny and Jenn. The last two boggle me. They are definitely not akin to Jessica.

[Gravekeeper]

IT'S LIKE SHAZZAM EXCEPT SO MUCH BETTER!!!!! ROFL

My first thought was, in all seriousness:

"Shafanza! I choose you!"

=/

[Broomjockey]

I've gotten Michelle too...

That, and Michelangelo. Do I look like either a painter or a turtle? No? Then don't call me that.

[Lachrymose]

My name is Richard. I can't count how many times I've been called Robert.

Also, I have a very common first name as a last name too.

When sending emails at work, a lot of outsiders tend to think my last name's my first name. >: o

[Kyree]

Random naming question. No offense to anyone named Richard. But how does Richard shorten to Dick? Rick, I can understand. But Dick?

And my name's Natalie. I've gotten Natalia (People at work call me that on purpose, actually. It's really annoying.), Natasha, Naomi, Jasmine (wtf?), and Melanie.

I have played the Name Game with customers plenty of times when I worked in our call center. My name is very short, very common, and begins with a "J"; on almost a daily basis, I would get at least a dozen different names thrown at me, anything from Jan, Janet, Joan, June, Jess, Jackie, Julie, Gin, Ginny, Judy, Jake, Jason ... a lot of times I'd have to spell it for them to understand it. All three letters.

I also knew a girl who used to work for us whose name was very very unique. I'd never heard it before and have never heard it since. It basically sounded like the name Renee, except it started with a J instead of an R. Customers would ALWAYS get her name wrong.

[otakuneko]

I donno. How does William shorten to Bill?

If you go with Jasmine, I'm sure someone would be tempted to team up.

"DOUBLE BATTLE! Chose your Pokemon!

Jasmine! Shafanza! I CHOOSE YOU!

Jasmine uses Leaf Blade~
Shafanza uses Psychic~"

...I had way too much fun there.

Or William to Bill, or Robert to Bob, or Margaret to Peg?

I don't know..I think it just kind of evolves.

ETA: I think Shanna is an awesome name.

[Muses_nightmare]

Why do i have "that's not my name" by the Ting tings stuck in my head now?

Now it's stuck in my head! :P

People cannot seem to get my name right (with the exception of one customer, and he's awesome haha) It's not that uncommon. Starts with an L and sure as heck isn't Laurie (that one particularly bugs me)... It's ON my nametag, it's actually on two nametags, and really isn't uncommon, or hard to read. No one seems to be able to spell it either.

[unholypet]

Well, thank you =D
