How would vs. you feel?

Sometimes on this website, I have seen people post polls about wanting to honor family and the comments come back with alterations of the honor-ee’s name (such as Thomas in place of Thaddeus, Tessa in place of Teresa, or Allison instead of Alice etc.). I am wondering how the people being honored feel when their names are altered. I think it would bother me, but I’m not everyone ... so I was wondering what you all would think. If someone wanted to honor you, but wanted to change up the name, how would you feel? Thanks for any opinions on the matter. -Lisa

Help! I love the name Guinevere, but I can't think of a really good brother and sister name for her. Since Guinevere is so empowering, I want the next names to be powerful as well. Thanks, Genie!
Baby Name Genie:
You seek the Holy Grail of names. Let me help you in your quest. The brother of fair Guinevere will fight on foot with swords aplenty, but on his horse he'll surely lance a lot. Name him Edward for a regal name. A sister could be dubbed Katherine if greatness is what you desire.
