So re: name discourse, I should say that I do in fact have a "Chinese name" that is, in the most technical sense, my "real birth name" (as in I had it before my parents decided on what my name in English would be) And I don't want people to use it

Yes, I am very familiar with this effect. (Few people pay attention to my name without correction.)

Why? Over the years, friends complimented me for getting their names correctly - especially with names like Lora, Laura, Laurie. Why wouldn’t someone respectfully use the name another prefers? So odd.

I’ve people ask “can I call you Cathy?” And I always say “no, Catherine or Cat.” And then that person basically says “I’m gonna call you Cathy.” Not the same, know but I am always so confused by this - like why would anyone this this was acceptable?!
