my name is Tim but this guy wants to call me Joseph. Why?

I saw similar case in the early 90's movie "last boy scout". Why do some people want to call someone by some random name even after we tell him our real name?

Tim? I thought your name is mell...

anyway, the next time this guy calls you Joseph, call him Richard. If he does it again, use the colloquialism of Richard.

Because people are just weird. Tell him your name is Tim, and not Joseph.

Ask to call him by a different name too!
