Yup. I could totally see LW concerns e.g. if not-Sara is up for this because she is worrying about her name being too much or something.

But on the other hand people get nicknames that aren't their names for sooooo many reasons. My real name is a pretty common one but during high school/university I answered to so many things that weren't my name because reasons (e.g. Jennifer - which was a common thing people called me instead of my name, a few other "mixed up with my name" names, a bunch of diminuitives that other people thought made sense, messaging board/IRC nicknames, and Gertrude - which is nothing like my name but which my English teacher decided to call me on the first day of class (named after the grammar character in our textbook, not Hamlet) which stuck around because I answered to it.
