So very embarrassing...
I had an experience while at work that I met someone briefly and thought I heard a man's name was Darrin. I kept referring to something "Darrin" had spoken about and how "Darrin" would be a contact for further questions. An hour has passed only for me to find out that "Darrin" was in fact Marian, (a family name). I felt so embarrassed. Apparently I need to have my hearing checked. Has anyone had an experience like this?

I think the question is who hasn't experience the foot in mouth disease. Marian is actually a fairly common male name although it is usually associated with women.
My moms name is Marian...I wonder if she'll answer to Darrin too....
Perhaps the Doc has a prescription for improving the hearing...or comprehension there off..

Yes, let's hope a prescription is in order. I've tried a few non-prescribed items but with no improvements so far.
And I don't recommend checking with your mom to see if she'd answer to Darrin. Don't let my impairment affect your life as well.

FYI: Marian was the movie star John Wayne's real name, but everyone called him "Duke".

I'm not saying the name is bad, just unexpected. Very unexpected.

True, luckily I didn't meet him and call him some other name. That would have been too much to take.

Out here in the PNW (Pacific NorthWest), we have Marion Berries (sorta like blackberries). I moved up here right around the time Mr. Mayor got busted, and it took me two years to figure out people weren't joking.
As a little sidebar
I could feel a little embarrassed, I suppose.

Oh yes. We have two gentlemen,(I use the term lightly there), at work who are alomost dead wringers for one another. One has always worked on my shift. The other on day. Little did I know that their jobs got shuffled and they in effect traded places. I was calling Steve, Joe for almost a month before someone pointed it out to me..........Yikes!
