Have you ever abandoned your English name? What was the reason?

In junior high school, I have a very good relationship with my English teacher. One time I was found crying at school because of something, and my teacher gave me a note and chocolate after school, the note begin with “Youlanda,.....” I was very grateful when I received it. But I still texted my teacher that my name is actually Yolanda, and the next day my teacher gave me another chocolate to apologize.
