Can you share an example of the 'asl wrong name story'?
Suppose there is a small ASL - using community in a town. There is a young man named Tom. A new interpreter in the community, who was still learning, accidentally gave Tom a name sign that was very close to the name sign of an older and respected member named Tim. During a community meeting, when announcements were being made and the interpreter used the wrong name sign for Tom, everyone thought it was Tim being addressed. Tom felt a bit left out as he was not getting the proper attention, and Tim was confused as to why things were being said about him that didn't pertain to him. It took a while for the interpreter to realize the mistake and correct it, but in the meantime, it created some awkwardness and miscommunication within the community.
