It is very rare that anyone truly cares. I’ve only had this be a real issue with flights when someone uses my preferred name even though I tell them not to, and it inconveniences me while I try to fix it.

Most people get it when I tell them, “no one calls me Xitij, it’s impossible to pronounce.”

My legal name is close enough to my preferred name and my surname is pretty unique in the UK, so they believed my explanation. I'm not sure what I would've done if they hadn't...
