"I don't get upset.." "If you call me Mark we'll probably never have another conversation."

[@Fonz116]

He then said….unless we later become friends.

[@kimisokool]

Exactly! LOL 😂 that indicated to me that he does somewhat get upset. If you don’t want to talk to the person again, you’re mad!

[@HB-mj2jz]

What he meant was, that people who don't know him usually call him that. The people close to him know what his real name is, so the people who give him one time interviews or stuff like that he will not lk to again anyway. Probably more in that context.

[@Telefiend]

You are misunderstanding what he meant. He meant if he ran into someone like me, and I called him Mark, he realizes I will likely never run into him again. People that see him on a regular basis call him Mark Paul. I don't, and likely will never see him on a regular basis, so I don't know that. I am sure if I started seeing him regularly, he would either correct me, or I would notice everyone close to him calls him Mark Paul, and I would correct myself.

[@chaosgyro]

People who call him Mark don't know him, and as they are unlikely to EVER know him, or even have another conversation, there's no point in making a big deal about it. Case in point, I only realized today that his name was hyphenated. I thought Paul was a middle name.

[@bwenjones670]

He's not wrong though. He feels like it's a sign of disrespect and he is right. Anyone who gave a damn would just ask "what do I call you?" instead of just assume his name is Mark and go with that.

[@Bad_Wolf_Media]

It's neither that he's upset or feeling disrespected. He's saying it's a transactional conversation with someone who doesn't actually know him. The very next thing he said was "unless we become friends and they realize 'oh, it's Mark-Paul!'"

[@jakemusictvs]

Same. Most of family and relatives (including my parents and both my younger sisters) have always called me Jake. At work (I work at a radio station as an on-air announcer, been there for almost 25 years now) nearly everyone calls me Jacob and I announce myself on-air (during my program) as Jacob as well, although some of my regular listeners have now come to call me Jake. When people meet me they always ask “do I call you Jacob? do I call you Jake?”.. I tell them that I do not care and that I go by both. There are a few famous Jacobs who I think prefer to go by Jake (such as Jake Gyllenhaal, who is about the same age as me) but I personally think that either name is fine.

[@Truthseeker-cv2mvp]

Exact same for me. I prefer Jake over jacob so it works out.

Calling someone by their preferred name is a sign of respect. If you know someone prefers to be called by their full name and not a shortened version, and you insist on the shortened version anyway, you are just telling them, "I have no respect for you," and then you are clearly not worth their time.

[@CallousCoder]

It’s very common in Dutch (hence he has with his father being Dutch) that there are double names. Floris-Jan. At my customer they were confused because I call myself Ray, and it says Raymond. So do move asked what do you prefer. I’m like: “it doesn’t matter, I listen to both and even Doetjes (which is my weird last name which in Dutch means spineless persons) and Dodo which is an ancient nickname from a tv character called Brave Dodo that I liked in the 70s as a toddler”. And my colleagues are like “okay….but which do you prefer Ray or Raymond.” -“so I joked, when I hear Raymond in worried and wonder, what did I do now?! Because my mum would say Raymond instead of Ray when she was upset with me.” People are too easily triggered these days, what’s in a name?!

[@raeraebadfingers]

My name is Rachel, there are very very few people I'm okay with calling me by my birth name. I go by Rae. Or Rae Rae.

[@CallousCoder]

@ Actually I’m not going with my birth name either. Officially my name is Rene Raymond, but when my (step)dad legally adopted me, my name last name changed, to the unfortunate Doetjes (spineless persons - but hey, I gained a superb dad so all the teasing of the name I took for granted) and so I could also officially change my first names so I swapped them. I hated the name Rene because to me that was a girl’s name-the girls across the hallway from us was called Renee. That’s hel a 5 year old’s brain works. Hence when I was 3 or 4 I wanted to be named Dodo after that TV puppet (probably worse in hindsight as a dodo is associated here in NL with being dumb 🤣). My best friend’s name is Rene, and he was an apprentice and lived here with me when he got kicked out of the house - hence we’ve gotten so close we are like brothers; especially after my little brother died in 2014. Him and his now wife became surrogate family. In Thursday the 2 if us go to a metal concert. Their oldest son (5) always calls me uncle Dodo as does his 3 year old sister. And we went out last weekend and I treated them on something and his wife said “thanks Raytje (little Ray, it’s a Dutch thing)”. And the 5 year old says: “is uncle dodo not your real name? Is it Ray??” So I explained that it’s official Raymond or Ray but that I’m fine with whatever they want to call me. Then he asked: “did your mum name you dodo?” So my friend’s wife said: “No daddy, gave uncle Dodo, that nickname”. And Rene is like: “no it wasn’t me! He already had that nickname.” She’d had an epiphany after 20 years: “oh I thought it was something that you came up with, it’s such a typical thing you’d think off.” So I said that in high school it was an acronym for “Dorstige Doetjes” (thirst Doetjes my last name) because I could chuck a lot of vodka and still play basketball and ride my bike without issues. And our manager/friend would call me Doet or Dodo. Because we had another intern before Rene, who was the youngest brother of a youth friend (who also died) and he knew me by my nickname. So that moment Dodo got back into the vocabulary. So my brain is trained to react to Ray, Raymond, Doetjes, Dodo and Doet 🤣And fine with all of it. I just probably wouldn’t react to Rene as in 49 years that hasn’t been used for me.

I knew a guy named Robert but his ex wife would call him bob to get under his skin because he hated being called bob. His like my name is Robert not bob. She was a ex for a reason. He should have realized this before they got married though.
