When I was little I used to get upset about it, but its happened so many times now it doesn't bother me at all. Lots of people spell it with an H, one person who used to be on here would do it deliberately LOL. Pronunciation is just as varied, but it really is said properly just how it is spelt, though most people call me Treeza.

	I get my name altered and mis-spelt very often in the real world. It dosn't bother me when it's the first time I've met someone but I do give people short shrift after a time. I personally think it's rather ignorant not to get someone's name right through carelessness.

Member Since: March 2003 Posts: 4,377 Send Message	I like to spell my name Maggy (it was a teenage thing, I wanted to be different!!) but lots of people spell it wrong! Oh and my surname always gets pronounced wrong too.

	My surname is always mispronounced, for some reason, when used as a name, people pronounce the "w" in Sword. My Mu gets the same her name is Davies , pronounced properly (sounds like Davis), but in Canada, people always say DavEEEEEEs. Drove her crazy as a child now she's reverted to her maiden name and once again it's driving her nuts.
