Yes, kinda mean. It depends what your name is. What I am trying to say is if your name is from another country, hence not a popular name for him, it might be hard to pronounce it. I have a few asian friends, and I'm canadian, and it's hard for me to pronounce some of their names sometimes-- even years later! Some of them I had to resort to calling them a nickname or part of their full 20-letter name (I don't know how many letters, but it's humongously long names sometimes)... So maybe take that into consideration and his whole behaviour with you before you assume he's doing it on purpose.

How many people have you met who couldn't pronounce it? I have a pretty normal name but people always butcher it, not because they're being mean or trying to get my attention,it's mainly because they don't use it often or we don't talk a lot. If you hardly speak to him then he won't get much practice saying it right. Instead of being aggressive about it and making him feel embarrassed, help him to pronounce it properly. At the moment I doubt he will really want to use your name at all...

@Beautifullyderanged he says it right one minute, then says it wrong the next minute. Says it right the next day he sees me, then says it wrong at 2pm.

@iamnikki does he say it wrong when it's just the two of you or with other people there as well

@Beautifullyderanged with others as well. Also will introduce me to someone I haven't met and say my name wrong to them. i think that's on purpose. Thank you for your time

Hmmm. Well...probably not something I would do, because I don't like confrontation, but it's not actually mean. Maybe he is murdering your name on purpose so you will talk to him...馃槈

@iamnikki I had a physically abusive mother, who believed that only males were worthy, and trained me to be a servant. Mainly HER servant...but I had to schlep hors d'oeuvres and drinks to her friends, and to my own brother who was treated like a demi god when he arrived home for visits. I did NOT learn to be assertive...because that usually earned me a hard slap straight across the face.
So, I think this strongly depends on your name...and how far off he is. There is no excuse to not try, but there are some names that are just beyond me. Not many, but some.
