The mayor found the situation amusing, especially once everything was resolved, and she obtained her learner’s permit just two weeks later. “I was really upset at the time, but now it’s a fun fact about me,” she shared. After Mayor shared her experience on TikTok recently, she realized she was not alone in her unique predicament.
“I was called aslhey instead of ashley for 20 years,” one individual commented after viewing Mayor’s video. Another person added, “For 12 years, I thought my name was spelled Lilianna, but my birth certificate actually says Liliana.” The responses continued to pour in: “My nephew was supposed to be named Cameron, but his birth certificate says Carmon.” “On my social security card, my middle name was mistakenly listed as ‘Laureen’.” “My mom misspelled my name; it was supposed to be Sonya, not Sanya.” “For two decades, my name was Aima instead of Alma.” “My friend’s actual name is Bethang, not Bethany.” Mayor expressed her surprise at the number of similar stories, stating, “For years, I believed I was the only one with this experience, but it seems I’m not!”
