My first name is Gareth, and some people think 'Gary' is short for that. It isn't. Gary is a different name. It pisses me off.
Several of my friends though, have taken to deliberately calling me the wrong name for comedic purposes, be it a real name ('Garth'/'Gavin') or something more bizarre ('Girth'/'Garteh' because of a misspelling on a karaoke signup sheet/'Gizzark' which funnily enough is now my online handle).
But they still don't call me 'Gary' because they know I hate it. Makes me most angry at work in emails because my name comes up on Outlook when you receive an email from me, is in my email signature, and my email address is just myfullname@whereIwork.co.uk.

For some reason I hate to be called Mart, I have always preferred to be called Martin. Though on a daily basis I get called Mark by whoever calls up my work, its really annoying.

"Trisha?"
"no."
"Krista?"
"no."
"Tristan?"
"no."
"....what was it?"
"Trista. T-A. Not H-A."
"OH! Like the bachelorette?"
"............yes."

I HATE when people who haven't known me since I was a child call me "Scotty". Knock that shit off.

It's kinda hard to mess up 'Cameron' really. And if they do, I'm not mad about it. The only one that annoys me is when someone calls me Callum instead. It's not even that close. And some of these people have spoken to me several times.
Also if you've known me for a long time but misspell it 'Camron'. It's like, c'mon man.

My name is Kala and it sent people into fits because it isn't spelled the common way. (K-a-y-l-a barf, barf, barf.)

Never liked being called "Timmy." I'm really not a fan of my name in general though.

I hate being called Thomas unless its by somebody in my family. Tommy is also a big no no. I'm not a freakin child.

What about Gaz? Usually only close friends. It's a bit chavvy.
