Ever been called the wrong name?

[Peace River]

Someone called me Marissa today.
I have no clue who they are/were or who Marissa is, but apparently I looked like her today.

It’s a shame that Marissa wasn’t there to appreciate the huge compliment!

Seriously, for those who have never met @OrchidMiss in person, just know that she is filled with awesomeness!

I was called ”the robot that controls my thoughts” by a patient at work this week. Does that count?

I sometimes get called a wise wrasse, then I have to remind them that I don't have any wrasses (yet).

Love this thread!
Ok, so back when people actually read newspapers I was a photojournalist for 15 years at a paper in the Metro-Detroit area. My name doesn't get much simpler, it's Tom. The police chief for one of the communities I covered ALWAYS called me Tim, I mean for years! I tried to correct him in the begining but after awhile I gave up. I mean it wasn't like my name was published under every image I took or anything...lol
The industry has since changed and a 2008 layoff sent me back the the family business installing hardwood floors but I get to keep my photo brain alive as I also teach photography at a local community college

I get called Shane all the time, even by people that don't know my name. I guess I look like a Shane (whatever that is).
Name is Jamie btw.

I have a twin, not sure I've ever been called the right name. Eventually people just call me by my last name.

Hi guys! I'm not new, but I'm introducing myself anyway!
I'm Suzi, and I'm a very busy infusion nurse working 2 jobs.
In my full-time job, I have about a 50-100 patients I treat per month.
That's a lot of people! The majority of them are senior citizens, and they can't always remember my name (I pride myself in being able to remember most of theirs!)
I've been called Judy or Stacy quite often!
Once I was called Jennifer, by a patient I've treated dozens of times lol
Today, I got Robin!

I never correct them, however. I know they know who I am; I'm the only pink & purple haired, tattooed nurse at the practice!
Some patients don't even bother anymore, and just call me Mermaid.
That's all, just wanted to share

Tell me what wrong names you've been called!

A rose by any other name smells just as sweet ….so no worries. Quite frankly I don’t care what im caled except liar!

I've got a friend at church that I've known for a couple of years and he switches between Tim and Brian... He's an older fellow so I give him a pass.

It's a pleasure to meet you Sharon!

Does it count that a door dasher dropped off Popeyes to my patients house, the patient thought it was being delivered for me (thought I bought us all lunch). But nope. None of us ordered it.
All of us ate it though!

Well at least they don't call you "late for lunch" Right!

Nice to meet you and a belated welcome to R2R!

Nobody gets my name wrong except the idiots I work with. They have a name I can't say in here lol, but hey it's a jealousy thing at work. They don't like the younger guy having top seniority

"It's ok, no one ever gets my name right anyway. I forgive you. Thanks for the chicken!"
