Same name
When I was in Italy with a friend she introduced me to her Italian family. As each of them introduced themselves in Italian with 'My name is...', I answered back with my name Anke and got a surprised look every time!Later on I found out that the Italian word for 'also' is anche, which is pronounced exactly as my German name!

My Christian name is Anche. It was my Norwegian grandmother's name.
Many years ago, I spent my winter vacations in Europe. In Italy I met some Italian football fans on the train. One of them looked at me and said 'Carina'. After many 'Carinas' I said 'No, not Carina, my name is Adriana'. But he kept calling me 'Carina', so I said: 'OK, if you must, call me Carina!' Later I found out that carina means 'cute' in Italian. In Brazil it is a common name ...
At least they made no comment at your supposed mistake.
