Proceed with the whining

"IT Support, $name speaking."

"Was that $utterly_unrelated_name?"

"No, it's $name"

"$utterly_unrelated_name?"

*freezing silence*

Look, fool. You don't need to know my moniker for me to fix your technical problem. In fact, it's probably a blessing that you don't, given your obviously brilliant communication skills. Cease thrashing about trying to guess my (very common) name, which I have already said twice, and proceed to the mewling and whining, and thenceforth rapidly to the getting the hell off my phone.

No love,
Me.

You're lucky. I actually have an uncommon name... people come up with the strangest things to call me. I bet they're not calling you by disease names or toy companies...

Hi Mattel!

Hahaha, so do I. I've actually gotten to the point where I don't bother correcting them anymore; I just agree with whatever they want to call me. Most of my calls start like this:

Me: Tech Desk, this is Sora Mylastname. How may I help you today?
Rep: What's your name again?
Me: Sora. S as in Sam, O R A. How can I help you today?
Rep: Uh, okay, Dora/Laura/Zora/Flora/Arnell/etc... $issue

Elsewise, it's

Me: Tech Desk, this is Sora Mylastname. How may I help you today?
Rep: Hi, Dora/Laura/Zora/Flora/Arnell. $issue
