When a person you've known for awhile requests to be called by another name, how willing and able are you to adapt?

I interviewed a woman named Cheryl who, once hired, requested to be called by another name. A co-worker, whose name was Jim, went by the name of ‘Spike’. A cousin requested that he be called by Ed instead of Ward (what we grew up calling him) once he reached adulthood.

When a person asks to be called something that you aren’t used to, how quickly are you to adapt or do you just brush it off?

Bonus question: If we Jellies were to meet in real life, would you prefer to be called by your first name or your on-screen name?
