TL;DR: The OP is upset that NPCs call him by his name in text, but call him hero or champion in a voiceover.
Kiernen is actually Irish-Gaelic derivative, and the name of my first born son, IRL.

Especially when your character has a silly name. It’s hard to enjoy a storyline when they are like, “only you can save the world Mcpoopypants”

Feels odd to me to be called the sole saviour then enter a raid with people and npcs all doing work.
Don’t know if I would say “upset”. It’s just odd and out of place. I am reading text that says one thing and hearing voiceover that says something entirely different. Ever watch a movie with subtitles on and they don’t match with what’s being voiced? It’s jarring and takes you out of it. Not earth-shattering, but it’s just an odd design decision that never made sense to me is all.

No. We need your Help Champion.
Nope, legit murdered Y’ogg Saron and C’thun and Xavius on my own, so doesn’t that make me more powerful than Malfurion?
My favorite is the few NPCS who DO know our names and address us by them… like that one Orc Warlock in Pandaria that shouts “I do not fear you (insert name here) you should fear me!!!” I had two core hounds at the time and named them “fred” and “george” after the Harry Potter twins and she shouted “I do no fear you Fred, you should fear me!!!” as the core hound named Fred ran into the tent and all I could think was “Do core hounds feel fear?”.
Where do I get this quest?
Asking for a friend.
How about I just call you “Maw Walker”. Like THE Maw Walker. The ONLY one in existence! Just like that man over there, or that woman standing there, or little Billy who just entered from the Maw. Wait, is that little Billy? THE Maw Walker??
I have played a different characters pretty much every expansion and in Legion and BFA I played super casually. This monk has maybe a few notches on the belt but those weren’t earned alone.
But beyond that it is because the player can never truly be recognized and that is why it is annoying. If we are to go by what the game has given me then my Monk is the
Commander, Admiral, Grandmaster of the monks, Hero and Champion of the Horde,Speaker of the Horde, Champion of Azeroth,and savior of Azeroth(x3). (I’m sure I’m forgetting a bunch and omitting the big boss killing titles)
I’m the reason why we have the Mag’har, Vulpera, High Mountain Tauren, and NightBorne in the horde.
And yet the intro quest to SL some how that it is too dangerous to send the leaders of the Horde and Alliance to the shadowlands? As if my character isn’t important and integral to the Horde? That I’m not the reason why it even exists still? What have they done? Why do we need them?
Why wasn’t my monk put up to be the Warchief? Why can’t I challenge Mok’gora?
Then I still get quests that has me digging through piles of some animal dung as if I don’t have followers from My garrison, class hall and boat that couldn’t be doing these things.
I wouldn’t mind being recognized as this amazing hero but only if it it is maintained and I actually have influence but I don’t and wont. The story goes that way if I do the mythic raiding or if I do pet battling.

How about have then use our title in a unique way.
Patient sir…
Horde Champion …
Master architect…
saviour of azeroth souls…
Hero of the nightfall…
It could be cool to have an NPC use these in the city or somewhere
We need progression, from Peon at the lowest to Champion at the highest. But Blizzard doesn’t believe in progression, right? 
I wish they’d at least have voice overs where they say your class name at the very least. If they can say champion a billion times they can have the actor record the class names too
First and only character I known to voice a name was codsworth? I might have name wrong. He was in Fallout 4. Blew my mind. That takes a lot of effort and requires voice actor to read off long list of names. Can get expensive if the va is even willing to do it.
Of all the things to get your underwear in a bunch over…
hey azerotha!
What I see, Khadgar: “Greetings, Cormia! You’ve saved Azeroth once again!”
What I hear, Khadgar: “Greetings, Champion! You’ve saved Azeroth once again!”
What I say outloud:
“Forget you for forgetting my name…AGAIN! You know what? Just give me my loot for the quest. This is the last time I swear to… starts mumbling… Azeroth can get blown up next time, buddy. This chick is moving to the Outlands. I’m going to become the next Sylvanas and build a new Silvermoon! One day you’ll come find me to save Azeroth and I’ll be your quest giver. You wanna know what your first quest will be? Remembering my name. Good luck.”

I, for one, want to hear their text-to-speech routine hock a furball and die trying to pronounce a string of alt-codes.
