Uuuugh! It drives me crazy. Especially with both personal names, courtesy names, and titles! I have to figure out if you are calling him Lan Wangji, Lan Zhan, or HanGuang Jun and then decipher all your letters. It took me forever the first time I saw someone pull YLP out. It's Yiling Patriarch.

And it doesn't even work with some of the generational naming that goes on. JZX could be Jin Zixuan or Jin Zixun! Or a quick glance means I can mistake JL for JYL (Jin Ling vs Jiang Yanli).

It takes a bit getting used to at first, I admit. But if you already know you're talking about The Untamed, it's pretty clear who LWJ, LZ, or HGJ are referring to. And who wants to talk about Jin Zixun in the first place *g*. No, you're right, it can get confusing, and a bit of context goes a long way to help with that.

But I've spent around two years in cdrama fandom so far, and by now I'm not even blinking at the initials anymore. They're a neat shortcut when conversation goes fast or space is limited.
