Some people do actually go by their full names and not really by any nickname. And sometimes they go by a particular nickname (Will Riker is not a Bill or a Billy).

Also, they should spell their names correctly - especially if they have that character tag, the spelling is right there. Looking at you Stranger Things fandom - it's Jonathan, not Jonathon, and Erica, not Erika.

And they should also not make up full names. Looking at you Harry Potter fandom - it's Harry, not Hadrian, not Harrison.

Plus, they should use the correct names, if they are known. Yes, sometimes it takes a while for canon to give a character a first name or a last name, and middle names are scattershot at best. But once the canon name is known, fic that gets written after that point should have the correct name and, if not, then at least a better explanation than the writer doesn't like the name. Looking at you Teen Wolf fandom - it's Noah, not John.

Now if the writer explains the reason in the story and it makes sense for the characters in those circumstances, I can sometimes accept it. Or if there's another character *cough*Tony Stark*cough* that would totally give the character all of the nicknames, well, that's another matter.

YEAH! YEAH! You get it! A LOT of characters do already use nicknames, and trying to re-nickname them to something else sounds weird and wrong and bad, like they clearly didn't go with that option!

It's fine if one character is an inveterate nicknamer and they pull out new nicknames all the time, yeah, but like... when the author just *likes* a particular nickname and so they have *everyone* use it, when no one in canon does, it's SO weird.

(speaking of Stranger Things, if I ever see Robin being called 'birdie' in a fic again it will be too soon, it makes me gag)
