I had to laugh when I heard, ah... well. One could call me Wuxian, if we were of a shared generation and considered each other decently close equals. Call me Wei Ying and we're either very close, or you're being insulting or mocking. Otherwise Wei Wuxian remains more appropriate, since I hardly expect anyone to use different, ah. Indications of degrees of relationships.
The kids could could me Uncle Wei! Or Old Wei. Think it'd catch on?
