My dad's younger brother is 'Jim' to everyone who met him from the age of about 20 onwards, including his wife. I've always called him Uncle Jim, even though my dad still slips up and calls him Howard quite often.
I also know a Reg Andy.
I think name-changing can be a very liberating thing and most people are willing to accept it.
