Deaf Writer's Alarm

Many times, I received the names around but genders did not call.  How? What? What do you mean by gender?  Okay.

My relative has odd names.  I thought I would uses to it but not success because many times, get mistake or got bullied by the name calling.

Johnnie and Tommie are girls' names.  Yeah, it is!   They are my cousins.    Both of my relative has initial name like W.E. and M.C does not have Full Name!   W.E. was well known by our family history but unexplain how he got that name and no one know.  I could ask one of my older cousins who born by W.E.'s side.   M.C is my precious father and got in trouble so he get his full name by force.     His name was become natural name now, not initial anymore.

Some I met unsex names like Dallas, Sean, Dale and Jordan...Jamie.    I not see why anyone would like to bullying over the names and genders?    

My name was tough because they kept calling me nickname instead of full name which is not my name.   i got tired of everyone called me wrong name in my life.   I kept told them my real name is ------ (5 letters, not 8 letters)   No one understands.    Other time, I came out without knowing my name,  they called me in gender instead of name.   I correction the gender and name same time.   Everyone shocked.

Everyone thinks legel names must be in right name and gender.   I met lot of people who uses nicknames and become habit calling them.    Everyone got in little trouble by nicknames but real name comes in same person... no mistakes.

What do you would do when they tell you?  What do you do?  How do you correction them by name and gender?   Tough? Easy?
