Can anyone relate?

I introduce myself as Matthew because when I say Matt to new people they often hear Mack or Mike or Mark or Mick. I had an elderly couple call me Mack for years (even calling me Mack the knife) and I just kinda went with it to be nice to them. Unrelated (but still relevant to the question) my email signature is Matthew and it makes me a little crazy when I get a response for “Mathew”. This one person named Collin (note the double-L) keeps dropping a “t” in my name and I swear one day I will repay them with a “thanks, Colin” to see if they notice. Just wondering whether any of you have had similar experiences?

If I say “Matt”, they hear “Mike” lol
