Ismarel?

Jeff and crew drove to Wisconsin to do some work on our house.  As he was introducing me to the crew the first time, he said, "this is Ismarel.".  Later I was asking everyone their names and "Ismarel" introduced himself as "Ismael", with no "r".  I said, "I thought your name was Ismarel." to which Ismael replied that was wrong.  So I turned to Jeff and asked why he was calling someone he had been working with for 20 years the wrong name.  He replied, "well I had already been calling him Ismarel for 10 years before he told that wasn't his name, but by then it was too late.  He was Ismarel to me and I couldn't change it.  We had a good laugh over that.
