Well, I suppose there's nothing wrong with just letting people know you want to be called something else. You know, your driver's license has your real name, as do the government, your bank, and your employer, etc., but you request that everyone call you "The Yellow Dart" or "Mister Bojangles" or whatever it is you want them to call you.
