Is it a red flag if someone keeps misspelling your name?

  • People misspell and mispronounce my name all the time and so I'm not even bothered at this point in my life. I feel like friends, family and coworkers get spicier about it than I do. LOL I am mindful that there might be other aspects happening there - I had an older coworker who confessed at happy hour that they struggled with my name due to language issues (we came up with a nickname that was easier) and I worked with another person who told me at a different happy hour about how embarrassed they had been that day at work when someone snarked on their spelling errors on the white board because they were dyslexic. ;(


    All of which is to say that sometimes there may be something underlying it that is not a personal slight against you.
