I have the opposite problem at work, the recipient in outlook shows 'surname, first name' so mine is Lin, Raymond. Pretty standard for everyone but when I get internal calls or email reply they call me Lin and on the phone they are surprised I am a guy!
My wife's uncle has a first name of "Lin" - his Chinese name is Ma Lin. Gets confusing, given that my supervisor's first name is "Lynn" - it's a pain when they both appear in the same sentence!
