I’ve given up trying to correct people.

Honestly mine isnt even hard but people are dumb

Seriously how hard is it to spell Laurel?! It’s literally Lauren with an L

BOTH oh my god just sound it out it’s not that hard people see more than 6 letters in my last name and freak out like it’s yiddish or something

I don’t know how many people think my name is Sanna or Stina when it is Sinna

I no longer correct people unless their error would create problems in the future (such as something tied to ID or legally/medically important).  I just go with whatever they call me or however they spell it, because 99% of people who don’t know me well get it wrong.

I’ve taken to automatically spelling my name when I give it to someone who might need to write it down. I actually have to stop myself sometimes.  It still doesn’t always work.
