I met this new friend and it took me almost two months to get used to her name (Steffany) because I kept calling her a completely different, unrelated name (Andreza), just because my brain would't accept that Andreza wasn't her name. It had never happened to me before, I'm pretty good with names and she has the same name of a lifelong friend, so I don't know how I got it so wrong.

A lady I used to work with called me Jason for several years (which isn't even close to my actual name). I corrected her every single time, which was literally hundreds of times since I saw her almost every day, but she continued to call me Jason. One day I walked past her and she said, "Hi Jason," and I replied, "Hi Sarah!" She looked at me super confused and said, "My name isn't Sarah. It's Anne..."

I said, "Yeah, and my name is [redacted] but you keep calling me Jason!"

She replied, "Oh, well you should have said something!"

I about screamed.

I have a similar story - but my buddy’s name was Ed. We went out to the bars, I went out to his place for parties. I’m out and someone calls him Chris. Who’s Chris?? Turns out his name is Chris edwards and everyone calls him Ed. I learned 5 years later at a funeral (not his!)
