ekin or aki?

Yes, i know it is confusing. Some call me Aki some call me Ekin. Some make a hybrid out of my two names and call me eki (please don't do that). Well, both Aki and Ekin are correct. Ekin is my real name, you know the one on my passport and things. It is a Turkish name and it means culture. Aki is a nick name i gave myself with the help of a friend many years ago and it stuck. It is a Japanese name and it means autumn. Which one do i prefer? I like both. I have been introducing myself as Ekin for a while just to avoid the confusion. You may know me as Aki Sakin, Ekin Sakin, Aki MacDonald or Ekin MacDonald. They are or have all been my names although the most accurate one is EKiN SAKIN.
