And? I still have no idea why people find it so offensive to want to be called a different name, even for no better reason than 'it sounds cooler.' Not sure how saying someone should be named what they want to be named makes me the asshole here.

ayrt first clarifying "assholes" was not in any way directed at you. it was hyperbole of my hypothetical character. :P

I don't think there's anything wrong with people having a preferred name. I definitely know people dislike their full names and go by nicknames, or middle names, or whatever. But your name is still your name, like it or not, and it's not wrong for people to call you that, and most of the time I do think it's overly insensitive to throw a hissy fit because of it.

And there are... levels. I knew a guy who never told me his real name because he insisted that he wanted to be called Squall (as in, from Final Fantasy) and he hated his real name. He felt Squall suited him better. Coincidentally, was also obsessed with the character. I never felt the need to respect his wishes in that case.
