I could relate to the story told. I won an award at my college graduation and I didn't even know it was for me initially because they called me Alicia. It wasn't until a professor grabbed me and corrected the presenter that I realized it was for me. I do feel sorry for my peers growing up. I can remember those long pauses during roll call like it was yesterday. The class was so used to this that we would pronounce the name for the new teacher.
To be a calibrator I will make sure I have first and last names stated correctly and I will help the students correct other adults as well. If I don't get the name right away, I will meet with the student after class (away from their peers) in order for me to make sure I have the correct pronunciation.
