As bad as it sounds, that's pretty much my approach to new temps. I'll bother learning their name after a month or if they're a chronic problem causer.

But the first syllable of Marigold IS Marr... not Mare.

Eh? So in your neck of the woods they call the flowers "marr-i-golds," not "mare-i-golds?" Perhaps this is still another example of USAians and Brits being two peoples separated by a common language, but the latter is how it comes out on this side of the pond where the story is set.
The given name Mary is sometimes reduced by dropping the final Y so it comes out sounding like "Mare" (a she-horse). It doesn't shift to "Marr." It may sound different closer to the Prime Meridian.

I'm STUNNED at this...
(No, seriously...) I can't say I've ever heard any of my USer-type friends say the name Marigold, but your description above seems so un-natural to me to be almost unbelievable!
BUT I will also say I've never heard them say Mary in the way you describe either... an that's my mum's name, so that I have heard!
You guys need to choose an accent! :)
(Says the Scot!)

Let's see, a large influx of pre-Queens English Brits, Dutch, Germans, Irish, assorted Hispanic and Latino groups, plus a fair amount of Native American and French. Not to mention the assorted African languages that came here through disreputable means.

Well she did hookup with him and considering that she didn't even bother to remember his name and has various boundary issues she's only marginally better.
TheEvilDog:
Kind of a pot calling the kettle black situation here.
I mean, they both call him an internet hookup, can't be bothered to remember his name. Yes, he's a smarmy, odious worm in the shape of a man, especially in today's comic, but Renee can't exactly claim the moral high ground here. Maybe the "moral little bump in the floor caused by the loose carpet".

Lebanese? With a name like Brunhilde? Wouldn't have picked that!
Guess it explains the eyebrows, though...
