How do you react when someone mispells or mispronounces your name?

My last name is McAllister, not that bad, right?

Wrong, I have had MCcallister, McAlister, McAllistar any combo of the three and in one extreme case, the triple threat, MCcAlistar.

I think I should change it to "bob" and see how many people misspell it.

 

[Danny Ocean]

I've had to live with it my entire life. What really bothers me is that the mispronunciation makes absolutely no sense and is so trivial.

Exactly this. The only reason people get my name wrong is that they don't know how to pronounce the letter 'y'. It's a vowel too, people!

My name is Sarah so if by chance someone mispronounced my name I would just assume they were pants on head retarded..
My username however gets mispronounced all the time sadly.. I just assume these people just taught themselves to read.

 

[Eren Murtaugh]

I usually don't get mad when people mispronounce my name, it's just the plethora of STUPID ways they do it that get me laughing. Like, why in HELL would my name be (long)E-Ren(like the character from Ren and Stimpy)? And my last name. The most common is when people say Mortagh. THERE ISN'T EVEN A FUCKING "O" IN IT! I usually just say, "No, it's just like Aaron, and MurTAW." I even got Murtowel once...

 

[DemonicVixen]

Well, my first name is pretty common, I've never seen anyone mispronounce Eric.

My last name, however, is a different story. It's Bollinger, pronounced Bowl-inge-er. You'd be amazed at how many people say it like "ball-ing-ur".

Sorry but even I thought it was pronouced that way when i saw it but i guessed there was another way.

OT: However i know my surname is a simple way to pronouce and yet people insist on pronouncing it completely different. Whetstone. Simple basic way to say it is "wet stone". The H is practically silent except that you drag the w and the h out a bit more.
I get Weatstone, Whitstone, Watston and many more. No mater whether its spelt correctly or not, it 2 basic easy words strung together >.> is that SO HARD??
