Re: A very small rant

That seems counter-intuitive to me. I call people what they introduce themselves as.

There's a guy I knew in school who went by his proper name until he was about ten, then switched to a diminutive of his English middle name (his family is from India) because his name was one syllable off of a common girl's name. Come grade 12, I'm the only person in the school who still called him by his proper name because *I* was never given permission to use his nickname. Calling him anything else just seems so rude I can't bring myself to do it.

That sounds more like you were being the rude one, actually.

If he switched to a diminutive of his middle name, and had everyone call him by a diminutive of his middle name, you don't need an engraved invitation to use the name he's being incredibly obvious about preferring. Continuing to use his full first name because you weren't specifically sat down and told some variant of "I'm going by Johnny now, you're allowed to call me that" is obnoxious.
