What variations of your name has been used? Have you been given a nickname or called the wrong name?

Here are my top best variations:

Coming in at first place, I was called RAFIKI! Long live Rafiki, this was my absolute best.

Terms of endearment/nicknames:

Rafa
Rapha
Raphy
Raph

RALPH/RALF

I love you guys lol, I am not in the least bit offended. I actually find it quite cute.

My vanilla-world first- and surname can both be first names, and it absolutely gets my goat if people swap them around. Childish, but fuuuuck, really?

I am so curious now.

It would probably annoy me as well.

My real name is a simple one syllable, 5 letter name. I am shocked that every caller from a call centre, can never pronounce my name. It's so simple. My surname is a bit odd and one letter different from a popular surname. My surname is pronounced like it is spelt but people always get it wrong. My landlady thought someone had made a mistake on my paperwork and one day I got a rent invoice made out to a Miss Cronje. Funny thing is someone made the same mistake on documents of my dad's ..... But that was his fancy handwriting when filling in a form. Our surname is nowhere near Cronje

Being a redhead I have been called all kinds of nasty, weird and kind nicknames in my life, and heard all the insults and jokes ;)

As for my personal name..not many can pronounce it correctly.. and "Louise" is a direct result of that.

Don't really bother me much today but primary school sucked big time.. kids are mean little f....s;)
