How Important is a Name?










Very.

So important, this other person doesn't even want you to try.

"Totally disagree with everything. I hate being asked to keep repeating the pronunciation of my name so someone can get it right. Please do ask for a short version I hate when people insisting on getting the full name because I know they won't remember it. Thanks for nothing.

It's really annoying when everybody you meet keeps repeating your name and asking you to spell it so that they can get it right. Use the short version. Do NOT ask to be taught or to be reminded how to say my name . If you do you will get a death stare and the shortened version.

Yes make it clear you won't remember my name so I can give you something even shorter than the already shortened Ihe. If you mess up my name I'll either have to correct you or ignore it. Being tapped on the shoulder is way less irritating.

My first name has 11 letters 1/3 of people still get it's 3 letter abbreviation wrong. Mispronouncing my name changes it's meaning so I'd rather be called him. Names are a very personal thing & this guy has no business speaking for other cultures or anybody but himself AAMOF.
