I don't mind being called John because I know that plenty of people
assume that if they just hear it. At least that gives the right
initials, you may not believe some of the random corruptions I've ended
up with from vendors (Tom, Tim, Jan are common).
And as for my surname... :-)
Some people do; Uncle William Ray ... did not like people wrongly
expanding Ray to Raymond (but everyone calling him Bill was fine).
It amazes me that people, native English speakers, cannot spell my
surname:-) A German watchmaker Dad took his watch to had other ideas,
and spelled it accordingly.
