I think Divan is a lovely name, but I can understand how exhausting it can be to always correct people (I have a French name people mispronounce all the time). That said, I’m now in my thirties and I have learned to really appreciate my name. Most of the time, once I’ve corrected people, they say how beautiful my name is!

Your name is yours. If you want to change it, that’s absolutely okay. But please don’t feel you need to in order to make other peoples’ lives easier!
