@dumblederp @danwritesbooks @melbourne As you can probably tell from my username, I have an uncommon ethnic name, and I get this all the time.

Yes, they have noticed the typo.

Most likely, they haven't said anything because they don't want to cause a scene. But it is annoying.

First, acknowledge your mistake and apologise in a discrete way that's not in front of other people.

Perhaps that's an email? Or a Teams message? If you do it in-person, make it a one-on-one conversation.

Keep it simple.

Hi, I need to apologise to you about something. I've looked through some of my past messages, and I've noticed I've misspelt your name a number of times. It was a careless mistake on my part, and one you're probably quite rightly annoyed about. I'm genuinely really sorry and honestly a little embarrassed about this, I'll make sure to get it right from now on. Please let me know if there's anything I can do to make it up to you?

The really important thing is to not make the same mistake after the apology.

Perhaps copy and paste their name from another document instead of trying to spell it out from now on?
