At least you get better calls than me. I get people returning my calls saying "may I speak with Laura" and then disbelieving that I am she. I got continuous calls inquiring about skydiving lessons back in Perth until I caught up with the guy running them.
I just don't give out my number, and usually don't even answer unless I'm specifically waiting for a call. Personally, I'm a tad sensitive to gender-bemusement on the parts of those who haven't had the opportunity to actually encounter! "one of us"! and fairly adept at keeping everyone's comfort factor as high as possible, without making too big a deal of it. And I know I could do just the opposite, like flicking a switch, too, which helps.
