There really isn't an excuse for friends not respecting your request to be acknowledge as Shane, well, unless you're putting a bunch of guidelines like, "only in front of our friends" or something.
A really good friend of mine and myself, both thought it would be difficult for her to even see me as Jayson, but with the voice it just clicked and now she can't see herself calling me by her version of my given name.

Or ignore any name besides the one you want to be called? and then when they ask why you're being rude.. you can tell them because they're being disrespectful?
i know... these are long shots but sometimes.. you just run out of options.
good luck!
