What's your theory on my name mixups?
Over the course of our lives, we'll regularly encounter people who get our name wrong. It just happens, and it's no big deal.

However, when people forget my name, they disproportionately call me Brian. (Or maybe Bryan, I can't tell.) This is not a coincidence, because it's really disproportionate. We're talking probably 50 percent of the time, when someone gets my name wrong, they call me Brian/Bryan.

There must be a reason for this. What's the reason?

I'll post a few of my theories in a poll, but other theories are welcome. I need to solve this mystery.

In fairness, Brian and Rain have 4 letters in common.

In a former life you were probably known as "Brian of Nazareth." People just "know" who you really are.

When people get my name wrong, they change letters and remove letters. Never been called something totally wrong, because they get parts right... just miss on the whole name...

That's what happens with my name.

Same with me....add and delete letters all the time....

Maybe that’s Rainman’s problem: people selectively eliminate all the actual letters of his real name, and then add the letter B-R-I(Y)-A-N....with the net result Brian

Yeah, the second syllable of Brian/Bryan is kind of right. So it's like they remember the back half of the name and then play the odds on filling in the first syllable.

Maybe when you introduce yourself, your brain hears the full version, but the listener hears “Brrrrrrrrb-AN”, so they take a shot and call you Brian in hopes that’s what that strange sound meant?

My real name is Brrrrrrban, so I guess you could be right.

Its like calling some women, that have a common personality trait, "Karen".

You remind people of the "Brian/Byron" personality trait.
