Yes, I have an indigenous name, (Inti) and not precisely from my country, so it is very strange for many people who also think that it is a nickname, despite being very easy to pronounce, they change it constantly, sometimes I think that simply their minds do not accept it. Although this is not very pleasant at first, over time it has favored me because it makes it easy to locate myself among my acquaintances and make references about me, since there are not many with my name out there.
I get the same feeling - that they just feel that it is "all too hard", even when easy.
I see it this way also. It is a funny connection - to connect with "not my name" :D
