I know that I still get a little smile every time I see something with my full name on it, even years later. I hope it does the same for you.
Also, feel free to kick me in the shins if I err on the name thing (though I often just reference you as Gement in conversation so that should be good). Ditto pronouns: I actually had that whole "don't use the third person plural to reference a singular person of unspecified gender" thing drilled into me pretty hard as a young person, so it can be difficult despite the fact that the language has changed. All of which is a lot of words to say "I want to call you those things that make you happy and comfortable, and I would rather you corrected me than that I continued to screw up."
