I prefere to be called by my first name in Japanese, because in Japanese my
last name has a whopping 5 syllables, and is pronounced incorrectly the
majority of the time. I've been called everything from ジーストロングさん to
シンドロムさん. So Ryan works fine, and the cool part is that it sounds like
a last name anyway.
