or nickname.
Usually weirdos and/ or creepy.
Example Steven > Steve, Matthew > Matt, etc. these people are weird.
-
I am not one of those people, but what if they didn't get to decide? Their folks just always called them that, and it went from their :dunno:
-
Oh GTFOOH. If someone calls me Jacob instead of Jake, I lose it. I don't even look like a Jacob. I look like a Jake.

First name initial middle name users are far weirder. 90% of attorneys do this.
-
my parents went an alternative route, leading me to a life where i completely bypass my first name and go by a shortened version of my middle name. first days of class were always fun
:bigtoke: (i think)
-
If being called by my first name I prefer the long version.
This is rarely an issue as most address me using the last name

Not the same though. What goes on your business card isn't the same as what people call you in conversation.

I know a guy who was called "Matt" for all his life. Then in HS decided he liked "Matthew" better and forced everyone to call him the longer name.

I actually went by my middle name, which my parents decided since it's a kind of sick tradition. I have since said GTFOMF with that junk and now go by my legal first name.

I bet he was really weird.

How about older adults that still use the kid version of their name, like Joseph and they go by Joey or William and they go by Billy

:sdeek:
-
Coaches seem to like going by child-like versions of first names. Billy, Tommy, Brucey, etc...
-

The examples you mentioned all make perfect sense, the correct choice would be to go with Joe, and Will or Bill. What about Andrews though. Andy is the only sensible nickname (GTFOMF Drew), but it's kind of a kids name. Can I get a ruling on that one?
-
I go by Josh instead of Joshua (obv right?) but we just named our son Anthony and unless he's some big tough guy I full expect him to be called Anthony and not Tony. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think that's one of those names where using the full name is acceptable and not weirdo-like.
-
Best of both worlds j-von. If he's tiny you can just call him Ant.
My best friends call me Jake, but everyone else calls me Jacob. I will not correct either. I like them both.
-
i named my kids names that couldn't be shortened or changed. get out of my face with having your first name not be what people actual call you. or naming a kid something but then calling him something else. like "yeah, his name is samuel but everyone calls him sam".
it's like "hey dipshits. if you wanted people to call him sam and you were planning on calling his sam then wtf didn't you just name him sam"? i mean someone explain that one to me because you can't.

Yep, or people say, "his name is ____, but we'll call him by his middle name." Why don't they just make his middle name his first name?

that's exactly what i'm saying mittons.
also, i do call some friends (like mittons) by their last names which is completely and totally 100% not what we are talking about here, so don't anyone go there you guys. :nono:

I have a brother named Joshua, and all of us in the immediate family call him that where as everyone else on planet earth calls him Josh. It can get awkward at times.

yeah, i agree that it was a pretty stupid call on your parents part to name him something and then call him that thing when it was incredibly obvious that everyone else was going to shorten it and call him something different.

i overwhelmingly prefer my shortened name for most of my daily life, but use my full first name for publishing and other career-related things.

<--- Initials guy. if someone calls me my first name, then well.. i know they are a bill collector and don't return the call.

I answer to Joe, Joseph, Joey, and one guy calls me J. I dont really care what people call me.

What about going by a diminutive of your middle name? Is this the same thing steve dave was talking about? :ohno:

You're Swift. The official scoresheet at the Y says so.

<----Go by shortened version.
Actually a lot of people call me "DLew" off the board.
-
I don't know what Swift is talking about. I hate being called Jake, it saves no time and isn't more difficult to say than Jacob.
-
I'm not a fan of people that go by their middle name. Don't try and run from your embarrassing first name. Embrace it.

I have kind of a weird middle name (Gerard). I kind of thought about maybe trying to start to go by that once I entered college.

"His momma named him Michael, Imma call him Michael." I should go by my middle name, its so damn elite. Oh well. Strangely enough at work I'm initials guy. Far too many Michaels for that to work.

There are a number of males in my family that do the middle name thing. I am also firmly in the GTFOMF camp with this idea. :nono:

that wasn't meant to be a brag. in my job, publishing is just something you do, it's not incredibly glamourous.

i'm first name initial, part of last name initial.

I haven't had a person besides my parents call me by my first name in years. Sadly... sometimes I even forget its my name. :bang:

I have and always will go by my full first name in real life. I had an internship where HR made an abbreviated first name part of my email (and all emails said they where from my shortened name) and it really pissed me off. eff you, that company, and eff you, nicholas.

Well, Trey can mean 3. So they are probably working off of his "III" at the end of his name.

Parents probably did it early on to not confuse him with his dad or grandpa. Just stuck with him for his whole life. Granted, you have tons of options with the name William, so I'm not sure how they ran out of nicknames 3 Williams in.

I have a friend that went by Jimmy up until 3rd grade. One day he decided everyone should call him James. It was weird for awhile but everyone accepted his request and called him James. Looking back that was a pretty boss move for a 3rd grader to pull off. My name is a pretty famous one and you can't shorten it. It's also a very boring name, very whitemidwesterny.

What about people whose legal name is the childish version of a name?
Like Johnny or Bobby. Should they shorten their name to a more respectable adult sounding version of their name?

just make something up, that's how my name is. it's only really a pain on first days of class, starting new jobs, and when people write you checks based on your made-up name.

No just rowdy bachelor parties. I've been married 8yrs and have a daughter and possibly another on the way.
