Saying that’s acting like people won’t ask why or question if there’s a mistake.

Well, I do it (I mean, if I don't want to use a NN that invites speculation or insist on a certain NN spelling, then I don't? Regardless of whatever whims my parents have). It takes me zero effort. The point is, there is no "correct" for a NN except what you want.

It may work for you, but when I worked with the public, my nickname(that I go by) got questioned on a very regular basis.
And it is a regular name. Just unconventional from my birth name.
I did feel obligated to share because it felt rude not to when they asked and didn’t mean any harm by it.
I would prefer if you do not reply to this again. I am beginning to feel targeted. We can agree to disagree. This is an opinion platform.

I was responding to the eyeroll comment (I am sincerely confused why adults would insist on using NNs they find troublesome and are not fond of - and why that seemed imv presented to the OP as an inevitability). Of course, we have different perspectives, and that's fine; I wasn't arguing that.
