Dear Family Members:

Original post by bemyyoko

I know you all mean well, but there is something I've been meaning to get off my chest.

My name is Kerri.
It has been spelled that way for almost 25 years now.
Please stop sending me correspondance with it spelled any other way.

Keri
Kerry
Kerrie
Carrie
Kari

are all UNACCEPTABLE.

if you continue to spell it incorrectly, i am removing you from my guest list and inviting people who actually know my name.

thank you,
KERRI

LOL! And to make matters worse for her... my uncle (dad's brother) married a Kerry, same spelling and everything. So now we have two Kerrys with the same last name in our family.

PS.. you spell it wrong!

Re: Dear Family Members:

Well I'm Diana and I get Diane constantly and I'm always correcting people and it's like they don't hear me.

Plus my sister's name is Daniela and our families always confuse us and call us by each other's names..we have stopped answering and started saying 'Oh, I didn't know Diana/Daniela was here too!'.

And people say.. 'I don't know why your parents named you so similar!!' Uh cuz they liked the names? and they're not THAT similar!! I'm 26--it's always been my name...GET IT RIGHT BIOTCHES!!

I feel your pain!!!

Re: Dear Family Members:

oh... i also forgot...
Kerri does NOT sound like Karen or Kelly.
I understand getting 'confused' if Kelly and I are hanging out together... but if i tell you my name is Kerri and you CORRECT me and say Kelly... we're gonna fight.

My district manager had Karen written as my name the whole time i was working with him. He thought Kerri was a nickname for Karen....

lol Alice Sun is fantastic though.

I'll be honest... Alison/alyson is one of those names that i always ask about. I have several friends who are Alison but spell their nickname Aly
or Alysons that spell it Ali

i think, if someone is unsure, they should always ask how to spell a name.

You don't understand when the lady wrote Alice Sun.. I wanted to punch her right in the face!!!

hahaha I understand people who just met me.. or hardly know me.. spelling my name wrong.. or even asking how to spell it.. but when you are in my family or been a friend for awhile and STILL spell it wrong.. well u just deserve a fresh one!

people suck.

my best friend's name is Brian. He has known me since 2002. He used to spell my name wrong when we first met. So, i spelled his wrong on purpose...Bryan. He then told me...'my name is spelled with an I not a Y'
i said 'so is mine!'(this was after he'd been corrected several times lol )

now he spells it right, unless he's 'mad' at me or trying to get my attention on aim. If i don't answer when he says hi or says Kerri a few times he'll spell out KERRY as big as he can like 10 times in a row just so i'll at least tell him to shut up i love that boy
