Well, if yer ever down my way, think of that sort of thing as a compliment. A fair number of people here use "Brah" (a corruption of "bro") as a generic form of address, and "Cap" as the "honorific/respectful" form of the same.

My surname is uncommon where I am, so with children I go by 'Mrs V.'
With other adults, - well, let's say my name is Deborah (it isn't)*, and I like to go by Deb. Everyone - and I mean everyone - tries calling me 'Debbie' instead.
Grah.
Oh well. At least it's one of the variations of 'Deborah'.
* It's not Deborah/Deb/Debbie, but the pattern holds true.Seshat's self-help guide:
1. Would you rather be right, or get the result you want?
2. If you're consistently getting results you don't want, change what you do.
3. Deal with the situation you have now, however it occurred.
4. Accept the consequences of your decisions.
