I feel her pain. Mine gets spelled as Jodi and Jodie more often than not.
Another favorite of mine is getting work emails from vendors trying to get a foot in the door and they address the email as Ms. Raymond. I work as a Project Coordinator; if you're in sales and make assumptions as to whom you are speaking with, I'm not buying anything from you. Get your facts together first, then lets talk. If you make assumptions on who I am before we meet, how am I to trust that assumptions won't be made when I'm spending company funds with you?
I also give fake names a lot! I use Captain Artemus "Snake" Buckwald, Sergeant Slippy, Captain Margaret, Bueller and my favorite is Mike Jones (on occassion someone in the background will shout "Who?")
