I'm a female attorney in a small town where we have 2 other female attorneys and a few female doctors (vast majority are male). I've noticed a cliche among non professional women in this town (primarily lifestyle coaches, pyramid schemers, batistas, and spa workers). After talking to another female attorney in my town, she said she also noticed this and felt like some of these women felt intimidated so they excluded us or ignored us at social functions. Has anyone else experienced this?

My coworkers think my name is Steve. It started as a prank but it's been two years. 🤷🏼♂️

At work, people call me by my first name. At home, family calls me by my middle name. 🤷♀️

This is an interesting idea!
I always feel a little bad when colleagues in China and elsewhere have western names that they use professionally. Like, it’s very considerate but I really would like to show the respect of using your real name. (Off topic, haha, sorry!)

Eh. It's actually common in many Asian countries and part of a long tradition of picking different names.
