People who chose to go by their full first name rather than a shortened name...

[The Tonya Harding of Twitter Users Creep]

My nicknames are always longer than my first name. How weird is that?

You're King.

Trim, your nicknames kind of suck.

BTKKK's jealous or The King! 

I don't like either of those names. Try again?

I've been called "joe" for about two years now purely because cas4ksu thought it was neat that my last name starts with "J-O-E". Gets confusing at times.

[Mrs. Gooch]

I've been trying to get people to call me P-Dub for a while. It hasn't taken off.....yet.

The shortened version of my first name is Pat. I'm no chick.

No one should go by Pat. Makes me think of the thing from SNL every time.

If I had a dollar for everyone who thought that skit was hilarious to tease me about.  I would buy you and Mr. Gooch lunch.

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.

Is is code for a man that enjoys the services of prostitutes?

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?

[Kat Kid]

I think I hate my kid's name, wut do?

[Tobias]

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.

get creative kk

I remember thinking this for a couple of days with one of my kid's name. A few days later I decided I loved it. Hopefully that will happen for you, or you can just make something up.

My parents liked the shortened version of some names so my birth certificate says Will not William and my sisters says Jenny and not Jennifer.

Everyone I talk to assumes my name is actually William.

good job to your parents. they named you what they were going to call you. cheers to them.

[kitten_mittons]

I think the full version of my name sounds pretentious.

Did you parents name you Rick? I feel like your full name is Richard or Ricardo. Great names.  MODS!

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

Edit:  Before someone infers something.  I have never employed the services of a hooker.

I have never cut my crock so no. 

OT: Sometimes I have buyer's remorse over my screen name.  I think it fosters a negative posting response sometimes.
