That said, today I am frustrated again by reaction due to going by my given name, which is Starhttps://twitter.com/starsandrobots/status/740299046410063872 …
Over the years, some folks have suggested that I could change my name. I mean that's like the definition of "now you have two problems"

Also I can't really imagine telling someone else "you could just change your name" it's my naaaaame. And I've always been called this. How.

What's wrong with your name? It's iconic.

no, that's the thing. I'm opposed to changing it. (or: I don't know??)

It's a great name. Let's paint it on the moon to confuse people.

My name gives up too much information to South Asians... Need a psudonym

WTF? Why would you change it? Your name is beautiful and cannot be harder to deal with than mine.
