A Girl with 2 First Names

So Ashley Lynn is my name which as we all know is 2 first names put together. I actually love my name I think its fantastic...its easy to spell, easy to write, people don't usually get it confused except lately I don't know what has happened. I often get AshleyLynn what is your last name? This doesn't bother me to much as I can appreciate and understand why someone would think that I do in fact think Ashleylynn is sort of cute. I also get Lin when I spell my last name and I can also understand how this happens.
Over the past 48 hours 4 different people of which I have worked with for over a year each at least have addressed me as Lynn. I am really bothered and upset by this for some reason. Three people addressed me as Lynn in an email when my name clearly is Ashley and my signature at the bottom of all my emails clearly states this. Then I received a phone call this morning and the girl who I have worked with forever said Hi Lynn it's blank.....wtf I mean seriously how can you mistake someones name you have known for such a long time. My voicemail says Hi you have reached Ashley Lynn please leave a message. Anyways I am not sure what is going on but I am keeping tabs on this situation. If it happens again I might say something.
