I get called Steve by people a lot as my accent is a mesh of Welsh/Italian/Scouse (Liverpool)/at times gruff campness and a few other areas due to living around and such...
Well I convinced myself of that, until I realized people generally don't listen a lot of the time even when I spell out my name to them. I'm Steve on one of my old credit cards due to that which is just...baffling. Even after correcting the mishearing frontline public service person several times...
It's like being in Only Fools and Horses with some people, I'm Dean, damn it, not Steve!

My family calls me Jus or Jussy, short for Justine, which is fine by me, but I absolutely hate it if anyone else calls me either of those. I also really hate being called Tina.

It drives me nuts when people mess up my name. It's Miranda... not Amanda, not Brenda. And don't call me Randi. Only my mom and very few older family members do it, and mom is the only one who does it and it doesn't bother me. Especially because I remember everyone misspelling it with a "y" when I was younger. Randy is a boy's name, damn it! And don't call me Mandy either. Sigh. Sorry, it's a sore spot.

My name's Mark. Growing up I hated Marky Mark & the Funky Bunch. So if you called me Marky Mark you were probably getting punched.
Ironically, Mark Wahlberg is now one of my favorite actors.

My name is Tracey, but just about everyone calls me Trace. I don't really hate any version of my name. Some ways people have spelled it are questionable. I did a survey and the guy spelled my name "Traisi"...

My name is Richard. You want to call me Rich? Cool. Richie? No Problem. Rick? Ok, sure. Ricardo? Hey, no problem. "Ree-Shard?" (My teacher used to call me this claiming it was the French pronunciation or something) uh, ok.
But you f***ing call me "Dick" and I'm going to kick the f***ing shit out of you. I hate that nickname and I really wish I could go back in time to England and hunt down and beat the living shit out of the in-bred dumb f*** Limey Cockney stupid rhyming asshole who came up with that as a nickname for Richard.

My legal name is Joseph, but everyone just calls me Joe. I'm cool with all sorts of variations, Broseph, Jo Jo, Jose, Josie, Joe Schmo, but don't ever f***ing call me Joey.

I am fine with Bradley or Brad, but I wish people would stop calling me dickweed.

Mr. Lebowski. I am not Mr. Lebowski.
I'm the Dude. So that's what you call me, you know? That, or His Dudeness…Duder…or El Duderino, if you're not into the whole brevity thing.

I hate it when people assume they can call me John. It's Jonathan. Big difference. I'm the exact opposite. There's only like six people in life who are allowed to call me Jonathan. Everyone else calls me Jon, and I flip shit if they use the full version.

While we're on this subject, I usually just go by JG. Easy enough right? Not for a lot of people apparently. I've been called JT, GJ, as well as other letter combos. One girl even thought it was Jay Gee. Good lord.

I hate my full name "Jeffrey" I also hate the "Geoffrey" spelling. Same here bro. I don't mind being called "Jeffrey." I HATE being called "Jeff-er-y." Especially when said in an obnoxious tone.
