New name, new me!
I have a coworker at my work who is also a Nah-Oh-Mee, so I know exactly what you mean.
And everybody insists on calling me Christine or Christina. it's not like my name is in any way exotic, just Christi, but they have to call me Christine/Christina. And, people don't usually bother to learn how to spell it right. The most common error is to spell it with a K. Even coworkers of 3 years still put an e on the end. I even wear my name-tag occassionally. Wow! Didn't realize I harbored such strong feelings about my name.
