Re: Names and Identity

(Anonymous) 2015-01-25 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Because my family has always called me by a nickname, but I really LOVE my real name (and the nickname is fairly unusual) I use my real name with everybody else. Or at least I try to. Because, goddamnit, it's four syllables long, so everybody, EVERYBODY I know either doesn't say it at all, or shortens it in some way (and I've given up trying to get them to stop).

So my name disconnect is that I'd love, LOVE to hear somebody call my name and it be ME they mean; and I twitchily respond to anything even remotely similar to my name because it COULD just be somebody trying to shorten it again.

Sadly, I mostly only hear my real name when somebody wants to draw it out because they're annoyed with me, or thinks I've done something particularly stupid.
