Maitreyi Ramakrishnan Instagram – When you’ve been asked if you plan on shortening your name or asked if you have a nickname to make it easier for THEM, this can get you feeling emotional. I’ve said this before but I’ll say it again, RESPECT PEOPLES NAMES! If they choose to have a long name, nickname, or a completely new name: respect it. Respect how they want it spelt AND pronounced. Thank you to the amazing folks @netflix who got this up there and believe in my long name. Shoutout to all the folks with “complicated” names. Your name holds power and is absolutely amazing. 20 letters long, still going strong❤️ Sunset Boulevard, LA.
