Do people always forget your name?

Well, that's good news. I won't be looking for news stories in the future about maladjusted, bitter boys named Ronin and Ender becoming axe murderers then.

Not axe murderers...corporate sharks.

My name is Heather but lots of people want to call me Jennifer. Guess I just have that look or something.

My youngest son is named Tavis. No, not Travis. No, we didn't make the name up. No, I didn't misspell my own child's name when I signed him in at your desk. No, you can't call him "Tav". We knew when we picked it that he would be correcting people his whole life, but I can think of greater burdens to bear. We picked it for its meaning. It can either mean "son of David" (David is my husband's name), or "twin". Interestingly enough, most people think my boys are twins. I think it's the perfect name for him.

When I was working in an office answering phones, I would answer, Thank you for calling.........., This is Cindy, can I help you. Very, very often people would answer, Hi Debbie, could you...........? It was always Debbie, not Sandy, not Cathy, always Debbie. People just don't listen. They think they're too busy.

I have a very weird learning disability. When I introduce people to each other I go blank on their names. I can seriously be introducing my mother and forget her name. I just had a dream last night that I was introducing my boss and I went blank on her name. Weird.

I know of a kid who is named Brandin because his dad didn't know how to spell it and that's what he wrote down for the Birth Certificate.
(Brandon, right?) True story - my co-workers grandson.

I don't think that's a learning disability, maybe you get nervous? I know I do. It's like being on stage when you introduce people.......I've had that happen to me, I just go blank.​

I think its akin to calling out the names of each of your children, pets, friends' childrens to reach the name you are looking for when you are angry.

"Billy, Bobby, Mary, Susan, YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE, get back here right now!"

NOPE- that is a learning disability. I'd have to look up the name

Maplesky. Look at my coop page. Ender is the flighted chicken: he'll be my corporate shark. Or he will save the world. Ronin will be in politics.
