What's with people displaying their pronouns in SM but failing to put their family name in all caps? I'm glad you're so progressive, but as a person with an Indian name in London, have you considered enabling English people in talking to you first?

But how do you then know how the name should be capitalised? Changing the capitalisation of a name (or a title of e.g. a book) can be as deceptive as changing the letters altogether.

@electrineer @iiii @rutee07 It's a tradition as old as the telegraph to write your preferred name wrt. strangers in all caps in your signature. For example the signature

Best wishes,
FARAGO Andras, Mr.

would indicate that unless you're personally friends with Mr. Farago you're expected to refer to them as such. With the introduction of pronouns, this would be modified to

FARAGO Andras, Mr. (he/him)

which indicates
1. How you should be included in lists, postal addresses and on name cards
2. How you should be addressed by name
3. How you should be referred to in 3rd person

In reallity, the prefix (Mr.) is often omitted for simplicity and because forced directness is popular, but unless you and your audience are both named under the traditions of the same country you should still indicate which name you want to use.

@lbfalvy but how do you then know if it's Farago, faRago, FarAgo, fArago, or FaRago etc. That changes the whole name.

@iiii why the heck would teachers use last name. Anyone working with kids should know them enough to use first name.
