I identify with the problem. I get it on the spelling of my surname occasionally, but I see your phenomenon in many places. My daughter gets it when she goes to the USA. She is Imogen (a name which actually comes from a printing error in the first print run of the Shakespeare play Cymbeline, which is why I love it). However, in America they only have Imogene (last syllable pronounced like Jean). No matter how many times you say the it's gen not gene/jean, they still mis-pronoiunce it. Very frustrating.

Plenty of Donna's over here in the UK. Singers, swimmers, actresses, you name it - give Silvio hell!
David

It confuses people even more if I say 'Roger Alpha Echo' because then they think my name is Roger.

My name is Bradley Cooper. Her name is Donna Jackson. Not Dona or Deanna or Diana. (Just like my Mom's name, Donna)
Cheers

Your name is totally normal and a common one here in the UK i'm sure. Like you I get mis spelt etc how many ways can you spell Sarah.... Well I've had Sahara, Shara, Sara, Serrah.... you name it I've seen it all... And people always ask for my surname twice but I'm never surprised at that... :P

Bear with it... or change your name by depoll seems to be the only other alternative these days! One day we won't really have names except for friends & family... We'll all just be a number... Oh wait we're already at that point. Why don't they just ask for our passport no and be done with it hey!

G. Robinson (while my last name is Norwegian).

Know as much as you can about where you are and what your name means, it will help you learn about yourself.

I am indeed a guardian of wealth.

Oh well. I can just imagine the time you have with Donna, Bella Donna, poverina...che casino
