There have been many times that people have misread or misspelled by surname, Hoople, usually as "Hopple". I've never really gotten upset or frustrated when it happens, although it does throw me off a little when it does happen. I guess that the potential confusion on their part could come from how my name is spelled, and how they may see the second "o" as a "p".

Hi Enii. Throughout my currently short existence, i've been constantly befuddled by those who misspell or mispronounce my name. For example, in my high school music class ( circa 2010), we were playing a naming game. The point was to sing along and say your name. It proceeded as usual.... until it got to my turn. I was asked to introduce myself, I mentioned my name being the unwanted "Alihissan", and everyone looked at me strangely. They just said "what?!", and i stayed silent. It was really embarrassing. Another time, some substitute teacher man, read my name and rudely asked, "Are you a foreigner?!".... So depressing. People never pronounced my name properly; it was always "Twin" (because of my actual twin brother. He's 'Ghettio' on Vizzed), "Dansoko's brother", "Hussain", "Ayi" (because I can't pronounce 'L' properly), and more. I've always disliked my real name.

My real name would be tough to misspell or mispronounce unless they are from another country. But I can sympathize,my mother's name is not common here and we do have to spell/pronounce it for them,it is just par for the course.

RDay13 : Hmm I see sorry to hear about that. It really like depends on the sort of name you are born with. People can be considerate to say sorry and will practice saying your name which is nice. Others just troll for no reason and not with respect as well which is morely I would get annoyed on. I can understand as I said before not everyone will pronounce a name they don't know so well of right. So its fine to make a mistake, but if you just do it out of pure hate or no respect then what kind of a person would they be? Well you should know that answer without me having to say it.

HalfTurret : Your surname isn't so bad.....even I could say it out loud rightly and I did. Its all a matter of people trying. You know the ones that do, and the ones that don't. '-'

SuperCrash64 : I see that's another good way for a payback. And yeah lol who is she? XD

Ultrajeff : Sorry to hear about that....if I am not mistaken it sounds as if you got bullied for that for no reason....no wonder you never liked your real name....

Oldschool777 : I see thanks for saying of that its understandable. Since it wouldn't be of something people would know if its from another country.

That's using your head. Many people would not think to ask how to spell it,esp. with variants on names. Like Brittany and Britney for example.

Unintentional slips happen,but when some assume they know the right spelling or pronunciation,those are the ones that are really offensive.

I have a common name in the English language but I work with an Arabic speaking customer base and they can't always wrap their pronunciation around my name. I'm never offended by it because they don't have the same phonetic system English does. Vice versa goes with their language. I've been trying to learn it and understand it and I'm much better at listening then speaking because I don't have the speech patterns down. I know my accent is horrendous and they smile patiently while I practice but I'll never master the pronunciation.

Communication, though, is understanding what the other person means as they mean it, and that is achieved, as sloppy as I seem.

People also get my name wrong, calling me names very close to my name or just making mistakes. I'm never offended or insulted. Quite the opposite. I like that they're trying to acknowledge me with my name and if they get it wrong, that's their mistake. I won't embarrass them or insult them with corrections and I let other members mention it if they hear the wrong name.

But, no, I don't care. It doesn't bother me because it's no big deal. A name is just that, only a name. It's not the sum of who I am, it's not the representation of all things about me, it's a title to differentiate me from other people. If someone calls me the wrong name but I know they're speaking to me.... well, they achieved what they went out to do: Get my attention.

Oldschool777 : Yep that much pretty says it all......

Ghostbear1111 : I see thank you for taking the time to post. I know there will be some people who find it offensive and who will do like you would. Its a good way to actually go around it, but it depends on the person themselves. See I used to be like that, until I had my mum saying don't let people get your name wrong, and all that kind of talk. '-'

Only around 3 people actually write my username properly, even in a ban title on a website I made an alt account on, they got it wrong.
Other people just shorten it to L4W2 because of my site's name.

I don't get that mad or anything, I don't know it's just never really bothered me. One time I got in trouble in 1st grade, I got in a fight on the school bus, and I got suspended for 3 days for it, even though it wasn't my fault. Well the principal at the time sent a letter home and spelled my name Erin instead of Aaron. I don't know how in the hell he could screw it up that bad lol.

Eniitan : Yeah, I mean some people have misspelled my name as Aron, Aaaron, Eron, and of course Erin, it's like really? Erin? I don't look like a girl. One time I went to one of them coffee stands, and I ordered a iced coffee, something I don't do often, because for one it's expensive, and the girl there spelled my name wrong, spelled it Earon. I jokingly said to her "Well that's a different way to spell my name." and she said "OH I am so sorry! I forgot it was Aaron!" I laughed, but she told me one time she had this guy yell at her for spelling his name wrong, his name was Matthew, but she forgot a T. It's like really? People losing their mind? LOL. It is what it is though. Then again, I am someone that doesn't get that angry at little stuff, at least most of the time

HeavyMetalGamer : That is really great to hear in a way you did have a nice convo. At least she said sorry, meh people are people so its something we have to learn to deal with right? In a way sometimes I do laugh when my name gets called out wrongly before correcting someone. There are others out there who troll which is annoying so, that I can easily get upset on. But, then I think they are not worth it so its fine.

Vizzed.com is very expensive to keep alive! The Ads pay for the servers.

Vizzed has 3 TB worth of games and 1 TB worth of music.  This site is free to use but the ads barely pay for the monthly server fees.  If too many more people use ad block, the site cannot survive.

We prioritize the community over the site profits.  This is why we avoid using annoying (but high paying) ads like most other sites which include popups, obnoxious sounds and animations, malware, and other forms of intrusiveness.  We'll do our part to never resort to these types of ads, please do your part by helping support this site by adding Vizzed.com to your ad blocking whitelist.
