Take for instance, Chris. My proper name is Christopher. No one calls me Christopher, not even my parents. When someone does, it seems weird; like they're trying to be needlessly proper, condescending or cute.

If your name has a common shortened version (like Michael/Mike, Anthony/Tony, Nicholas/Nick, Christina/Tina, etc., etc.), which do you prefer to be called by? It, or your real name?

Friends and family call me by my nickname.

I don't have a shortened version of my first name, so at work and everywhere else I get called by my full/real name.

Shortened. I've even thought about having it legally changed to the shortened version.

My official name is Robert, but I have been going by Rob since before Rob Lowe (more Rob Reiner gen).

I have been writing under the name Rob and had to sign my bank card twice because publishers would issue checks to Rob instead of Robert.

Here with my sister and mom I have to accept ppl calling me Bob.

I'm rarely called by my first name (Stephen) period. A few times people saw it and tried to go "Hey Steve. . . " but then I just tell them to call me Robbie. That's short for Robert so I guess it still applies to me anyways.

Antonio, why'd ur family break from the traditional?

I notice with the Cubans in Miami that a lot of Jorge's are now George and Eduardo's are now Edward. I kinda like having names in their original ethnic form. Sometimes I am called Roberto and my Russky co-workers call me Robertyk. In New Orleans I was "Rob-air"

My name doesn't have a common alternate pseudonym, so this doesn't much apply to me…but some people call me 'Nay' for short. Full name, nickname, it doesn't matter to me.

Doesn't really matter to me to me. My uncle is the only one who calls me Tootsie, he gave me that nickname. Most of my friends and people call me Z or my full name.
