All factors play a part I suppose, for me. I remember watching/ reading something years ago where those with ethnic names [name_f][/name_f]- or names that were hard to pronounce or spelled differently [name_f][/name_f]- were affected, identity-wise. It always stayed with me because I suppose I was glad I never really experienced that, and that I kept it in mind for if and when I’d name children. I have a name that often gets muddled with another name so I felt it the slightest amount. [name_f]My[/name_f] feathers were sometimes a bit ruffled when I was called the other name because it feels diminishing. I specifically remember a [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] experiencing the same conundrum. [name_f]She[/name_f] complained when people pronounced it “SOPHIE-uh” rather than “so-phee-uh”
