Today, my family and I finished moving to Texas. As if that isn't bad enough, I'll have to introduce myself all over again to everyone I meet and explain that yes, my parents really did name me Lilypad. FML

Today, I decided to pay a surprise visit to my family after I got some work leave. I drove over and knocked on the door, and a young couple answered. Apparently, my entire family decided to move to Texas, and didn't bother to tell me. FML

Today, I had to admit to everyone, including my cable guy, that I'm moving back in with my parents. FML

Unforgettable

Today, I realized that since I was in elementary school, my friends, my workmates, and even my family, all call me accidentally by someone else's name instead of my actual name. I'm 30 years-old. FML

Today, I was so nervous introducing myself to my new team, I actually mispronounced my own name, badly, and now that’s how everyone refers to me, but again, I’m too nervous to correct anyone. It’s been a week already, so correcting them now would be extra weird. FML

Today, I met my new roommate. She severely struggled with pronouncing my name, and decided that to save time and the effort, she's just going to call me what she thinks my name sounds like: Lube. FML

Today, I went to visit my parents after 4 years of not seeing them. They'd moved without telling me. FML

Today, I had artfully managed to avoid anyone knowing that I was moving into a trailer park. I showed up at the trailer where all my friends, co-workers, and exes were waiting. My parents knew I was feeling down and wanted to throw me a surprise 'moving in' party. FML

Today, I met my mom's new business partner for the first time. I shook his hand, and introduced myself as "Lisa's daughter." I'm a guy. FML

Today, my mom called me by the wrong name. This isn't the first time. It wouldn't be so bad, except I'm her only kid. FML

Can't you just go by 'Lily' instead?

I don't think op has an issue with moving to Texas but maybe because they are leaving all their friends and family

OP, Lilypad is actually a pretty cool name. I think so anyway. And you should be happy you have a nice name like that instead of some of the more unlucky kids like Placenta, or my personal favorite terrible name "Sha-theed". No, that is not how it is spelled. Or like several other commenters have said, just introduce yourself as Lily.

Everything, 27. The better question to ask is, what isn't wrong with Texas? I'm just kidding. I live in Pennsylvania so I have no room to talk shit.

If you introduce yourself as simply Lily, no one will ever know and you have nothing to explain.

Haha it's cool 32, but seriously... I could see if she was moving to Ukraine (sorry any Ukrainians on this site). Just saying, it could be worse. And a lot harder to explain your name, lol.
