So.

I have a work name I'm for professional reasons after classes.

Easy enough to remember but not connected to mine.

And for some reason, my girlfriends and my mother have all started using my work name, as if it were a long standing nickname.

(They've never heard the work name before)

Should I be concerned?

Yes, probably.

Engage panic mode.

[weekendwitch]

Why should I engage panic mode.

You can see a bigger picture I can't by being outside perspective.

[likesand_inaglass]

If you're not careful, you'll be replaced by someone whose name was always your work name.

I'm being half-sarcastic but that is something that'll probably happen.

[weekendwitch]

Like what. Just some random stranger.

Or like a me who always had that name.

Just so I follow the half-sarcastic context.

[likesand_inaglass]

A you that's always had that name.

[weekendwitch]

On the one hand, I should be alarmed. On the other hand, that feels about the course of my life.

[likesand_inaglass]

I mean, either that, or you suddenly have a twin sister that has your original name while your name is now your work name.

[weekendwitch]

... I almost want to see the universe pull that off.

So why would this happen in the first place you think?

[likesand_inaglass]

Considering people are calling you that name without having heard it in the first place?

Weirder things can happen.

[weekendwitch]

That's what I meant.

Why are they calling me that name.

That's what's got me worried.

[likesand_inaglass]

Spatial distortion.

[weekendwitch]

... That makes sense, very unfortunately.
