What would be a polite way of letting an authority figure you meet for the first time know that you like to be called something other than the name they have been given. For example if most people call you by a shortened form of your name, how can you let them know this? "Could you call me ... please?" seems a bit 'bossy', but a sort of "hey, feel free to call me..." seems a bit too informal. I should've worked out a way round this by now but I've never seemed able to manage it. How do other people tackle this tricky situation?
