Should I ask all my my LOR writers to use my legal name in their letters instead of my usual preferred name?

I asked my LoR writers to write "Preferred name (legal name) Last name" in the first paragraph and then use the preferred name from then on. The AMCAS also has a spot for your preferred name. I don't think there was any confusion.
