People get names wrong all the time, even very common ones. If someone gets my name wrong, I may say something like, "well, actually it's Jim, but so long as I know you're talking to me, I'll answer to most anything". You know, just something to keep the tension off the situation. |
Well Stephine
, I think this is a great suggestion to correcting them.
I don't know how to get Stephine or Michelle from Priscilla. I will correct them when they get my name wrong. However, not many ways to get Amanda wrong unless ppl think I am my sister and start asking me about
my sister Amanda.
