They're all fine to express themselves - as long as it is exactly how Trump would do it himself.

Fired for a respectful email signature...(!)

I prefer to be known by the shortened version of my name. I have never identified with my full name which I was given at birth. Pronouns are really no different. Using them is about showing respect and kindness to a person.

I choose to be called Matthew rather than Matt.
And every time someone calls me ‘Matt’ I think, ‘When I’ve introduced myself one way why would you presume to know better than me?’

I work in a hospital delivering meals to patients. I always look on the board in their room to see their preferred name. Sometimes it is not their first given name at all. It is about respect.
