Gerard Neaux 4 years ago (edited)

Yeah calling someone a Karen is sexism since even men are called that to be shamed. It's a huge problem that a woman's name has been chosen to represent everything that's wrong with humanity. I wish people were clear on that and stop saying "don't worry, as long as you're a good person you're fine".

So, Twitter user Summer Ray (not to be confused with model Sommer Ray) asked the good people of Twitter to share stories of the grief that people’s names have given them.

She also shared a story about her own name, Sarah, saying that one might think it’s a safe enough name, but on more occasions than she can count she’s sent emails with a sign-off that had her name mischievously corrected to “Satan.”

And you bet people delivered their best responses!

In the phonetic alphabet, "L" is "Lima", pronounced "LEE-mah". So the person heard wrong and didn't know what the phonetic alphabet was and wrote "Lemur".

Now, you would expect more out-of-the-ordinary names to be picked on. And there certainly were cases like this in Summer Ray’s thread: names like Fuchsia and Audhan were definitely out there to be ridiculed, whether deliberately or not.

But there were also regular names, like Sarah and Ross, that were quite a head-scratch as to how anyone can butcher them. Well, turns out, Stan and Rock are a thing—spellcheck and phones primarily being the culprit here.

It's pronounced 'nee (as in a knee) keeragawn'. Irish used to have its own alphabet so the sounds can differ a lot from what people would expect. The letter C, for example is always a hard C. Soft C sounds are made by S.

Well, it used to mean gay, until people started using gay. Then it still meant gay, off, or odd. When the LGBTQA+ collection of letters was all put together, queer changed in meaning to uncertain but pretty certainly not cis... so there is an etymological history here that needs to be taken into account for the word, or the word user - you know what you mean but what do they mean? How did they use it their whole life. More than one meaning is fine - it's just a word.

When I was much younger in the days before dinosaurs, queer meant unusual. E.g "The car rolled down the hill and crashed into the wall." "That's a bit queer if they had the handbrake on." Funny how language changes over decades to mean something entirely different with the same words.

German/Dutch are right. It's weird English speakers that get awkard and mis-pronounce it (and therefore none of them spell it right).

As a German, I call bs on the second part. The "u" in "Fuchsia" would be pronounced somewhat like the "u" in "you", whereas the "u" in "f*ck" would be more of an "a"-like sound like in "far". Maybe there are some English dialects that pronounce "f*ck" differently?

My brother's name is Russel Poppler, little did my folks know he'd work at a nursery for a while. It was his 2nd job, his previous boss wanted to see if he'd help him out later that evening. However he asked for him 'wrong' ,called and said " do you have a Rusty 'Poplar' there?" the guy said "no and we don't have any dirty elms either". The former boss called my Mom to get a message to him. She calls the place " my son just started working this week, I need to get a message to him. His name is Russell Brian Poppler, can you have him call home?" The office worker went out to the yard and hollered " Hey Russ, you gotta call home , your mom is pissed." yeah, everyone knows when your parent uses your full name, you're in trouble. She just wanted to be sure they understood it was a real person and not a crank call.

I once knew a guy named Damon Wilborn who owned the local pa wn shop & seem to relish the fact that nearly everybody in town despised him. I used to do odd jobs for him. One year I delivered about 25 turkeys to some of the poorest families in town (most were regular customers). My instructions were to knock or ring the bell and sneak away. If I was caught I was not to reveal where the turkeys came from. Ol’ Damon had a heart of gold but didn’t want anybody to know.

MyDad was an elderly decon and deserved the respect of being called his proper name. It was tempting to call him Dr. Disrespectfull Dummy.

My mother has a friend called Leslie Thomas who has the same problem. She is a lady but people think that she is Thomas Leslie and a man and when she gives her name she gives her surname first. She has even has spam e mail for things like Viagra tablets and other things that would only be for men.

That's also possibly because, traditionally, Leslie was the male spelling and Lesley was the female spelling. Same with Francis/Frances, Adrian/Adrienne and Vivian/Vivienne.
