How do I get people to call me by my nickname?

Question

This is sort of tricky, because my nickname really has nothing to do with me real name, Jacquelyn, but more my personality. So, my new nickname is Luna, and I would really like people to calll me by that. If I tell them, they just say, "Okay!", but then they never do, no matter how many times I remind them. Any help please?

Answer 1

start signing your name by luna and whenever you meet someone new tell them your name is luna

these people probably dont call you luna cuz they're so used to "Jacquelyn"

Answer 2

just don't answer them when they call you with your real name. answer only if they call you Luna.  

Answer 3

When you ask try to be assertive, also try a signature when you text or email people. That helped me most, my signature is skweeky toy <3's you! and since I started using it people rarely call me by my given name. I know this sounds a bit trivial, but when people start to call you luna you have to get used to it. It's actually pretty confusing when people call you more than one name. Best of luck.

Answer 4

Start using it on yourself a lot, Get your name tag at work to be labeled "Luna" if you have one.

Make it your myspace name and try using it in third person a lot.

Also if it doesn't reflect you as good as you think it does people will have a hard time learning to use it. But it will happen just takes time be patient. .
