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.

So? I used to know how to spell my middle name, but no one ever calls me that, not teachers, nor my parents, NO ONE. I never use it, so I tend to forget if it's spelled with an S or a Z at the end. Big deal.

My brother is 28 and a few months ago I noticed that he misspelled his middle name, which is also our dad's name. The name is Michael.

That happened to me, but I found out in the 5th grade xD My middle name is spelled really queerly, it's "Maerose" not "May-Rose", which is what I had been spelling it as.
