That's interesting. I took Lady because I found it pretty. Like Ladybug. I also found it less imposing then Mistress or Goddess - which is fine if that if you want to be imposing ;)

But I have never bit off the head of anyone who addressed me as Angelika. In fact, I'm more likely to get upset if someone calls me Mistress and they are not my submissive.

I use Goddess to indicate My style of Domination. If anyone doesn't like it, they don't have to write to Me. I don't expect to be called Goddess in ftf situations. But I do expect reasonable courtesy unless I prove somehow that I don't deserve it.
I instruct boys to address Me as Goddess DustyGold or Ma'm if they wish to write a letter to Me. I consider it akin to referring to Me as Ms. DustyGold or something similar. I don't get in a huff if they use some other term of respectful addres. Even "Dear DustyGold". But when a letter begins with "Hi Dusty, I want to be your slave", I have to wonder how slave-like they will be if they feel it appropriate to begin with such a casual form of address.
By the same token, until I have written to someone a few times, as I do on the other side here, the same rule applies to Myself. I address the Domina or Male Dominant the way they identify in a screen name. Hence, Lady so & so, or Ms. So & so, or Sir so & so. It doesn't bother Me. Same thing goes for any submissive or slave. I extend the same courtesy to them. After an initial exchange, I am Dusty and they are whatever name they prefer.
I consider it simple courtesy.
I am not sure why it bothers so many others. Pompousness comes from the attitude you project. If you come across as a "know it all, bow down to Me type" then I am amused and I ignore it. But I see many on here who do not use a title of any sort, and they come across as very arrogant. So who's to say. The name doesn't necessarily make the person.
I don't think I am being pompous at all.
But I am sure there are others who might think I am. And if they do, there isn't a whole lot I can do about it.
Why sweat the small stuff?

Upset, no. Annoyed, perhaps a little.
