NTA. Strangest quirk ever! Call her by the name you know.

“NTA I can imagine Audrey’s changes of names are not only annoying, but confusing. When Tatiana changes her name every time, does she also change her personality? Telling Kiki that you are done was the right move. Any of Helga’s friends that don’t agree with you can shove it. If Tracy starts bad mouthing you, then you should tell everyone that you don’t know who Angela is talking about. Ain’t nobody named Acrobatic-Sort382 here, your name is couchPoTaTo911.” ♀️
