As a celebrity, but some rando on the internet told you that you couldn't go by that name in public or online?

It's quite silly to assume that the guy is impersonating the comedian when literally tens of thousands of people have Steve as a given name and Martin as a surname. I imagine there are literally hundreds of men named Steve Martin out there. Are they supposed to change their names for you because one of them happened to get famous using that name?
