Treat it like a name. You don’t need to learn all of them but when someone shares theirs with you, learn it and what it means or it’ll be very rude towards them.
To put it into context, it would be like everyone would be called Joe and Mary, which would be very boring.
Why do you care so much what someone else wants to be called and look like
The same reason as I’d care if someone said the earth is flat. I’d try to compare it to my knowledge gained in school, and be confused.
School often tells a simplified version of the truth.

Confused? Oh no, never that. It must make your pretty little head hurt, having to try to think.
Why are you being condescending?
Probably because you deserve it.
Because you’re being dishonest. You’re not confused about anything. Just say what you mean.
