I have a problem, it might seem slightly small and silly, but in the long-term it could turn out to be a bigger problem lolI'm 16 and have been going out with my boyfriend for just over 2 months. The problem is that he used to just call me by a short-hand version of my name or my nickname, but now he's started calling me by my full first name, the thing is that he spells it wrong... (he gets two of the letters the wrong way around). I probably should've just casually mentioned it the first time that he did it, but the first time that he spelt it like that was in a myspace message and I thought that maybe he had just done a typo, later when he continued to spell it this way I realised that that wasn't the case...! Now I feel like it's too late to tell him without embarrassing him/ seeming rude, but it's just one of those little things that really annoys me. And if we end up being together for a long time I will eventually need to tell him, and it will be even more too late by then! I've asked a few of my friends and they've been spelling it right when they talk about me to him on msn and stuff, and I've even spelt my name right a few times on msn, hoping that he'd get the hint - but he doesn't! I really need your help and advice on how to get him to realise without seeming rude or embarrassing him... Oh yeah - and the not embarrassing him part is quite important because I think that he is already quite self conscious about his spelling in general and he even text my friend once asking how you spell my middle name because he wasn't sure...! If my friends getting involved in a 'plan' will help, please let me know, because they do talk to him quite a bit on msn, etc...!Thanks :)xx

 Notify him he is doing it and make sure you seem like it's the first time you noticed. Also you will lessen embarrassment if you act like it's no big deal. Laugh about it a little.
