My Dad spells my name wrong, Should I tell him the right way of spelling it?

I think it is okay to tell him this. Has he always done this or is it recent? Perhaps he has dementia? It is important to consider that there could be other factors involved in his inability to remember.

I absolutely agree with you Annebelle! I don't like too "out there" spellings that are hard for a child to learn to spell who is named that,or hard to pronounce,but I do like a simply change that tends to make someone unique from the rest....or what looks good to me,personally.You have a beautiful name and I love the spelling...I would of still called you by your name correctly despite the spelling...You have made an excellent point!=)

Just where does he spell it wrong? Does he call your name right? Try with having your name written and placed in a place he could read. Key fob, school Note Book, just written on some paper or letter to you. Next step would be to ask him. Your question doesn't have enough information, so people are guessing.

YOUR DAD!!?!? Huh, didn't he choose the name for you? Or are you adopted and he didn't learn how to spell it correctly? Maybe you are spelling it wrong? Is it a nick-name like a shortened version he's misspelling? That's just weird that YOUR DAD is spelling it wrong. Yes, you should definately talk to him- maybe he's doing it on purpose?? is it a nickname he has for you?

Start spelling his name wrong and see if he notices. If he notices it will be a way to start a short conversation about him spelling yours wrong. If he doesn't notice, just tell him how funny it is that he plays with your name.

My dad spells my name wrong too and he is the person who named me! Figure that one out.

You can tell him - but he will forget and do it again!

LMAO i can only laugh because for years my dad got my B-day wrong and i would get SO mad and remind him about the date.. He passed away almost 7 years ago and when i think of the look on his face when I'd tell him that my B-day was not the 13 but the 17... I'm sure he is not trying to hurt you but maybe you can have a funny memory of it..

Really? How odd - yes, tell your dad how to spell your name. It isn't rude, it's just that he should know - and should have known all along. If he's writing to family members that know how to spell it, they will think he's off his rocker. You would be doing him a favor.

Check your birth certificate first. Then talk to him. You don't want to confront him without checking it first. He may have had it spelled that way on the certificate. Then if it was, he could tell you to change YOUR spelling. Good Luck & Blessings

Does he drink? Does he have trouble spelling everything? I don't mean these to be rude questions....please don't be offended. But unless your dad has any of these problems I would definitely tell him. That's crazy that your dad can't even spell your name!

If your name is different than what's on your birth certificate or its commonly accepted nickname, then you are the one who is spelling it wrong. After a few years, he'll at least pronounce it the way you prefer if he hasn't already.
