Is it worse when people get the names wrong or don't know them at all? Take today for example. I work in a kid's bookstore a lady and her kid were there for storytime and I noticed the kid had Happy Meal Leo sitting there on the floor.
Me: Got Leo there?
Kid's Mom: Is that his name? We just call him Turtle Man.
Turtle Man? Turtle Man!?
Me: (politely) Yes, Leo. His name's Leonardo.
Sometimes, you gotta wonder.
