Polychaete of the day is this corn fritter I mean another Amblyosyllis. Why does this genus either look ghostly and magical, or chunky pancake?

nickname poll

So currently I answer to my full first name (which I usually introduce myself with) as well as two nicknames/diminutives plus my last name when people mistake it for a first name. There are two or three other nicknames I've also gone by in the past. I'm perfectly fine with this, or neutral at minimum-- I have a common name and have had to be flexible with how I'm distinguished for my whole life. I also don't feel a deep and fundamental connection of my name with my identity, though I think going by another name entirely would confuse me.

A number of friends have been appalled at me being called names I don't say are my name. Which is really weird to me, although I'd go to battle for anyone else who was getting either deadnamed or called something they didn't want. But this perspective seems surprisingly common!

How do you feel about being called something other than the name you introduce yourself with?

I think it's fun if people give me (non-derogatory) nicknames or shorten my name

I don't care if people call me something else and will answer to it

I'm mildly uncomfortable or annoyed but won't make an issue of it

I HATE being called something else and will always correct people

I had to check, and yes they're real birds. (iNaturalist) (Wikipedia)

They're adorable.

Wikipedia says they're related to the cuckoo, but they couldn't be more opposite in their childrearing. They nest in groups, with all the eggs laid in a communal pile that everyone helps incubate and raise.

What a lovely bird that I didn't know existed!
