Anyone else hate being called by name?

Post Reply New Topic

I used to despise my name, but I don't mind it anymore, although it's starting to become a very popular name (about 1/2 of my friends share my name). But the name I still can't stand is my middle name. It's Rae. Both my dad and I say it's a boy's name, and my mom disagrees with us. It ticks me off when people call me Briana Rae without permission. I don't care how pretty it souns to other people, it'll always be hideous to me.

Well it is not like a guys voice suddenly is lower overnight. And I did not measure how far my testes were from my body on a daily basis so I never noticed a significant difference. And that would depend on if you had just gotten out of a hot shower or were cold, etc. (lol)

I don't like to be addressed directly except as "you".

My username is the common nickname for my first name.

I don't like to be addressed by my proper first name. Being addressed as "matt" or by my last name is less bad(although I still don't like it), but being addressed by anything else seems incredibly incredibly bad.

Two people at my workplace always directly address me as "Matthew" and I hate it so much.

I've always liked my name and I don't mind being called by it. I don't like nicknames though. I hate when people call me weird versions of my name. Either say my name properly or don't say it at all.

I hate my name too. It sounds so cringing when people shout it across the street. Not because it's a horrible name, but because I don't like everybody knowing my name.

It also makes me jump when people say my name (sometimes). But I'm awkward because the other day my mum called me ''her'', and I said, ''don't call me that'', and my mum said, ''you don't like me calling you your name, you don't like me saying anything, what am I meant to say?!'' And I'm like, ''I don't know.''

My mum has also pointed out that whatever name I would of been called I wouldn't of liked. My favourite name is Donna and I wish I was called Donna, but I bet if my mum had of called me Donna I probably would have been complaining about it today and wishing I was called something else.

I do...I always think I'm about to be "told off" when someone does it. Plus, a lot of people pronounce my name wrong...I especially don't like when people shorten it.

I don't really have a problem with my first name or being addressed by it. I do hate giving people my last name, though, because I have to spell it out most of the time. That said, I don't address others by name unless I have to.

I have never really liked my name, but more than the name it self. It's the fact that whenever I think about it, there is nothing about it that I found identifying or actually familiar on any sense.

So I've been meaning to change it not because I identify with one other name, it is more like because I don't think I'll ever like to be called by a name so it might as well be a name I found interesting.

Though I guess that I'd prefer people calling me by my surname in the sense that at least I would feel protected under the veil of formality.

I feel really uneasy when people call me by my name. As if I had done something wrong and was going to be found out.

In the English-speaking world, my first name is a colloquial term for the act of vomiting. Needless to say that I'm not very fond of it

My family name is rather common in Germany, but it is spelled in an unusual way, so I always have to spell it out for people. Since I speak too quiet, I'm usually asked to repeat it several times on the phone. At some point, people get fed up and ask me to use the spelling alphabet, which I can't do under the stress. I either end up using the English spelling alphabet instead of the German one, or I use uncommon words like epinephrine for E and tryptophan for T, which confuses the heck out of people and leads them to believe that I'm messing with them. One of the many reasons why I hate phone conversations.

I wish people would use names that have some kind of meaning, something in the lines of Native American names (Laughing Turtle, Confused Cat, Frisky when Drunk, Thing in the Fridge). That would solve the spelling and pronounciation problems once and for all.
