email today: mr. aparna -- here are the documents you requested.
telephone earlier: oh so your name is ana? (you wish!)
bar, earlier this week:
comic: your name reminds me of apadravia
me: what's that?
comic: it's the most painful (therefore, best) penis piercing!
(right through the head of the beast, i'm sparing you pictures, google it, be simultaneously wowed and terrified)
email a few months ago: hello anan, thank you for contacting us.
at a bar, two weeks ago:
waspy dude: hey, what's your name?
me: you're not going to like it.
dude: try me.
me: aparna.
dude: WHAT?!
me: uh-parrrr-NUHhhhhhh.
dude: wtf?!
me: toodles and told ya so.
at a bar, in a land before time:
dude: so what's your name?
me: aparna.
dude: uhhh what?
me: uh-par-NUH!
dude: i'm just going to call you rachel.
and last but not least, my dear friend somi, thought my name had a T in it for 3 out of 4 years of college. a SILENT T. she spelled my name apartna on my dry erase board in permanent marker for all to see asking as to my whereabouts one fateful afternoon. she wasn't even kidding.

I know its not a competition, but my (real) name is rilly hard. I decided to stop giving out my name to strangers after a hostess at Don Pablo's called out my name on the microphone (I was on the waitlist) as 'Satan'.
hahaha. My name gets spelled and said wrong all the time. (Its not really spelled Tara but I gave up on explaining it forever ago and since its pronounced the same everyones happy)
andy -- i wish my name was aparnat. that has a ring to it! JE, wherever you are, ahahaha, thanks for the good times.
yoda -- wow, i know someone else who gets called Satan occasionally too. he's not a bad guy neither.
tara -- hahahah. no you didn't! you're supposed to be the one with the easy name!
hahaha. Sorry to disappoint! ;o)
Peeps are just whacked. It doesn't matter if your name is easy or difficult, exotic or ordinary they're gonna fuck it up. If it's Ann they call you Anna if it's Anna they call you Hannah if it's Lindy they call you Linda if it's Karen they call you Carol if it's Joanna they call you Joan if it's Joan they call you Jan if it's Jan they call you Jane if it's dink they call you pink ... ETC.

you're right on the button, dank...or is it donk?
A lot of guys you will meet at bars are substandard to begin with. Get a few drinks in them, and they are impossibly stupid.
I really hate seeing my name misspelled (which happens more often than one may imagine). I don't know how you deal with people who cannot even pronounce your name. How annoying!!
