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 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...

Been called "whitey" since I was a teenager. Grandfather was called "speedy".
