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.

I know a guy who's name is William Whateverhislastnameis The Third and everyone calls him Trey (not his middle name)

Not even Tre... but Trey with the Y. I don't understand it. Is this a common thing?

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

Bunch of bitter creeps ITT.

If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

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.

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.

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

:lol: I saw that.

I think what my friend Mitch is trying to say is that true love is blind.

Back in my days as a Beefcake/Jock in high school on the freshman football team everyone called me hemmy, now days its purely first name basis.
