"Unperfect" Phone Operator

I hate my name.
I don't really hate my name, actually I'm rather fond of it. I've had it longer then I've known my child (9 years). I've had it longer then I've had glasses (25 years). I've even had it longer than I've been alive (29+ years). I don't have a problem with my name but it seems other people do.
My name is not difficult, nor is it that unusual, but for some reason people just cannot believe my name. Let's start at work, I'll answer the phone with, "Thank you for calling _______. This is ________ how can I help you?" Seems pretty standard, to me. AT LEAST once a day I'll get a response of "Patty, did you say?". Um, no. Not even close. My name doesn't even have the letters P,A,T, or Y. Quite often after answering the phone with the standard greeting I'll get a response of, "May I speak with ______, please?" To which I respond, "This is." The person on the other end will then say, "Oh! I though you said Patty." Um, no. I do believe I know what my own name is and I do believe I know how to say it.
I have even went so far as to have people blind call me just to make sure I am enunciating correctly. Alas, they all say the same thing, "No, you're not saying Patty, you're saying ________."
Now, let's move onto my last name. Also, not a difficult name to pronounce but for some reason people either stumble over it or laugh at it. My last name I am not too fond of and never have been. It is the result of a failed marriage. I kept it for a number of reasons. First, I REALLY didn't want to go through the hassle of changing my name back to my maiden name. Second, my maiden name is not any better then my current name. Thirdly, it is easier having the same last name as my child. Lastly, and most important, I thought it would be a good way to piss off my ex-husband. Although it may not be the "perfect" last name I certainly don't understand how it is funny (girl at the pizza shop) or difficult to pronounce (college instructor).
Perhaps I will keep my names as they are (at least until a better opportunity presents itself). I will continue to correct the idiots who do not take the time to listen properly and I will not laugh with people who laugh at my name. But just for the record... my name is NOT Patty.
