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

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.

Former president Harry S Truman's middle name was S. He wouldve been hard pressed to misspell that

My boyfriend has the same situation and name, except his name is spelled legally with two Ls instead of one. He just keeps on spelling it with one.

The EXACT same thing happened to me! My parents gave me a stupid, obscure Irish middle name with four syllables and it wasn't untill I saw my birth certificate eariler this year that I realized I've been putting it down wrong on paperwork MY ENTIRE LIFE. Social Security, insurance, driver's lisence, everything. **** our lives.
