Years of people getting your name wrong and so many nicknames you\u2019ve lost track. Growing up with an unusual name is hard guys, but don\u2019t worry I\u2019ve compiled this list for you to relate to.<\/p>\n
You know those cute little souvenirs you get on holiday like fridge magnets, bracelets, keyrings that had names on? Well with an unusual name you never had the joy of finding your name on one of those things. That didn\u2019t stop you from looking though.<\/p>\n
You\u2019re so used to people saying your name wrong that you\u2019ve learned to respond to anything that sounds remotely similar. You also try to say your name slowly and clearly when meeting someone new to avoid awkward mispronunciations.\u00a0This is another thing you went through while growing up with an unusual name.<\/p>\n
When you\u2019re on the phone or in any situation where someone has to write your name down you automatically spell it out for them rather than letting them attempt to spell it. It\u2019s easier for the both of you really.<\/p>\n
You dreaded that awkward moment when you had a substitute teacher in school and they always paused on your name in the register. You probably just yelled here before they attempted to say it and created a horrific new nickname.\u00a0This is another thing you went through while growing up with an unusual name.<\/p>\n
If you ever came across someone with the same name as you, you would literally freak out. You\u2019d also feel a little weird about it, it\u2019s your name, no one else\u2019s. You\u2019re kind of precious about it.<\/p>\n
You never had any trouble choosing a username because your name was never taken. Whilst everyone else had to put random numbers and symbols at the end of theirs you got to keep it nice and simple.\u00a0This is another thing you went through while growing up with an unusual name.<\/p>\n
Whenever meeting someone new, they would always ask you why your parents gave you your name or who you\u2019re named after. I don\u2019t know why, maybe they just wanted to give me a lifetime of people getting my name wrong and having to answer this stupid question.<\/p>\n
Another thing you\u2019ve had to get used to is people spelling your name wrong. You usually end up with all sorts of weird spellings, especially on birthday cards. It\u2019s always a nice surprise to you when someone new spells it right first time without you having to correct them.<\/p>\n
Knowing that no matter how many Starbucks you order or how many different baristas you tell your name to, that not one of them will get it right. You\u2019ll sadly never had an instagramable cup with your name spelt right.<\/p>\n
Receiving texts from your friends where they\u2019ve attempted to use your name and spell check has turned it into some strange word has become the norm. You\u2019ve actually grown to find it quite amusing. This is another thing you went through while growing up with an unusual name.<\/p>\n
