My name is actually Blurt
Today, I saw my original birth certificate and realised I’ve spent almost all my life misspelling my first name. Now I’m worried it might invalidate pretty much every legal document I’ve ever signed. FML
Edward
Unforgettable
Today, I realized that since I was in elementary school, my friends, my workmates, and even my family, all call me accidentally by someone else's name instead of my actual name. I'm 30 years-old. FML

Steve? Pete?
Today, I found out that I've been calling my boyfriend's dad by the wrong name for the past two years. No one had told me sooner because they liked laughing at me for it when I wasn't around. FML

What's my name again?
Today, I found out that I’ve been greeting a coworker by the wrong name for six weeks. The worst part? They never corrected me because they thought it was funny, especially because it turns out to be their mom's name. FML

It's alright. My parents never told me how to spell mine. I just made it up and decided how I wanted it pronounced too. It's not a common name though. I've never heard of something similar to it.

How the hell? It's a (first) (MIDDLE) (last) name. Other than first, the middle name is the easiest.. .... What is your middle name?

I just found out a year ago that I've been spelling my name wrong my whole life. And my mom was still passed out from her C section and my dad told them the wrong spelling so my birth certificate is wrong too. My name is AbbyGail but I've always spelled it Abbygail.

I know how you feel. My mom showed me how to spell my name wrong growing up she thought it was right. To this day I have to think for a minute just to make sure it right :

My middle name on my birth certificate is Dean. Strange for a girls right? But it's pronounced as DeeAnn, which is how I've spelled it for 18 years until I got my drivers license. But, I still spell it as such because that's how I have always known it to be.

I have several ways to pronounce my name, too. Riva. Still don't know, if I'm doing it right, but it sounds normal...
