We live in a society and names are tools for relating to other people with. I think it's fine to expect people to either conform to local cultural conventions or accept responsibility for any consequences themselves. I changed the name I go by when I immigrated to one that fits better with the people around me (and would have changed it more thoroughly if I'd known before the current form of it got entrenched in this country's bureaucracy). Expecting the world to bend to your arbitrary naming whims (and it is explicitly a personal whim in this case) instead feels pretty entitled.
