Would you continue to go to a program where they never say your name correctly?

Question:

Asking for a disabled friend, T. U., who is in a testing program for vocational rehab. She'd extremely upset that the doctors in charge of her care can never get her name right. I will forward any responses to her when I pick her up at the program.

Answers:
The simple solution is for her to tell them how to pronounce her name. If she won't correct them they won't know they are saying it wrong.

No, I probably would not continue...if put in a similar situation as your friend I guess most people would get upset, because it's a really B I G sign of ignorance of personality. I would change doctor and the program

Best wishes!

People usually mispronounce my name, too. I just calmly correct them each time. ("My name is pronounced --------") I don't take it as an intentional act of disrespect. It is annoying when the same person does it repeatedly, but I don't take it personally; some people just have a hard time with names. And if your name is an unusual one, it makes it that much more difficult.
