If email programs are messing up your name into "Mitchell, David", perhaps it will help to add your last name, too.
For example, if you use your full name "David Mitchell Smith", most email programs will render it as "Smith, David Mitchell". Most humans who see that will think "Mitchell" is your middle name, so they'll call you "David". There's still a bit of misunderstanding going on, of course, but at least it's better than what you've got now.
You could also try "David-Mitchell Smith", "David Smith", or even just "David" if you want everyone else to call you "David" anyway. The trick is to not let "Mitchell" be the last word.
