My sister is named Chloe which was not popular when we were kids so she would get called all sorts of crazy things like clay-ee, ch-low, ch-low-ee, or my favorite she claims someone once called her c-hole.

As a Caitlin, I get Catherine, Kayla, and Katie a lot, but I've also had people just call me by the flat-out wrong name. The worst was in elementary school, because my best friend was a Kathryne, but even now I get called everything from Shelby to Anna. As far as actual mispronunciations, I've gotten Cat-lin a lot.

My name is Tara, but with moving to another country I have noticed when I introduce myself I get a lot of people thinking that my name is Cara/Clara? As for spellings my name has ended up being up being spelt Tarrah, Taragh and Tera, even Tara-Leigh (because my surname begins with Le) In school I got called Ria a lot by teachers because a friend looked like me apparently, she got called Tara a lot back though. I've also been called Taya at a past job.

I'm an Alyssa and have gotten called sooo many other things. Some people, many teachers or new people I meet, hear "Alyson". I've also commonly get called Ashley, Anna, Alexandra, Alice, Lizzy, Lucy, Lilly, and a lot of other A, L, or similar names. Weirdest ones thus far have been Altissa (All-tiss-ah), Dani (a sub seen my middle name on the roster...Danielle, and shortened it), and Callista.

Other mispronunications of other people's names I noticed at my old school:
