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.

Yah I mispelled my middle name wrong for 13 years. So you're not the only one. My parents never bothered to correct me, so whatever.

Easy solution: get your name legally changed to how you spell it. That is, if you like how you spell it, over how your parents spelled it. My parents did a similar thing, in that they always told me to pronounce my middle name as "Lee," when it's spelled and pronounced typically as "Lee-a." I always wanted to be named "Lee-a," so it was quite strange they did that to me. lol
