Don't feel too badly. Many people who've known me for a long time call me John instead of Joe. Also, my last name 'Johnston' is often shortened to 'Johnson'. I don't bother to correct people anymore. There are many worse things to be called than "John Johnson.";-)
Used to me amaze me that every few months I'd discover another friend I'd known for years putting my name down in print as "Jay David." The "J." is for "John."
-- J. David works really hard, has a passion for writing good software, and knows many of the world's best Perl programmers
