Do you go by your real first name or a shortened version of it?

actually my reall name is very small and my last name is very famouse ,iwould like to go with my last name , but this not like this my friende calleme by that name which is totally diferent to my name and i love that name most

I go by my full first name at work and for people who do not know me when growing up. But close friends who knew me when I was growing up and my sisters and nephews call me Wheezy. My Nephews call me Auntie Wheezy which I love very much. I especially love it when I was up at my sisters and my 10 year old nephew ran in the house from school and yelled "Hay Auntie Wheezy are you here I missed you." That meant a lot to me.

I do not use my middle name at all. Using the middle name is not that popular in my country. I use my full name when I need to sign my name in something official. My friends call me in a shortened version of my name since mine is too long.

I usually go by something else, like dear, or hun, at least with my husband. And to my kids I am mom or mommy. My name is only a few letters long so I doesn't need to be shortened, though my mom still does it anyway! LOL

I love my first name. I prefer to be called by it and only it. I don't like to be called by any shortened versions.

Hi reinydawn! It really depends on who I'm talking to and on how they would address me. I would introduce myself here in Ireland as Lorna. Most Irish would call me Lorna but my Filipino friends would all me Lorn. In the Philippines they also call me Lorn or Lorna. With my family they know me by my pet name which only my closest friends know and immediate family. My son was named after the middle name of my husband which he never used since he's using his first name. But he also has 3 other pet names that was given to him by friends who associated his name with famous person in the Philippines who share the same name as my son. I have a neighbor who have 6 sons in the family and each and everyone is called Salvador. The grandfather is Salvador Sr, the father Salvador the 2nd and so on and so forth. So they can't all be named Salvador or any short version of it since they all share the same name. What they did was give each one pet name that would distinguish them from the rest. Happy posting

My first name is Sudipta and I don’t have a middle name. people have always called me by my first name though my friends are/were always welcome to shorten it however they wanted. So I was Sudi to some, Suds to some, Sud& Dis to some.

I am married and I have to go by both the long at short forms. In my mother's place, they call me by the long form. In my husband's place all my in-laws call me by the short form. But before my marriage my name was never called in it's short form.

Yo Dude that really is a very great question and yeah i use only my first name since my full name is C.R.Bala Subramanian and people have a very bad time spelling out my name and i do Cut it short for them,but when i write or sign my name i do it with my full name and i really like that only more than writing my first name only..Many in my place call me only by my first name and not by my second name even though they could spell it out easily...Happy mylotting..

I don't always go by my real first name. Sometimes I am called my my last name because its easier to remember. I have a lot of internet names or usernames.

I pretty much us my real name. Sometimes my mom calls me little bear. Apparantly when I was a baby I used to grunt and growl like a baby bear.... this is where the nickname came from. Every once and a while someone will call me chris.

in my country, the people always use the last name,not the first name.

we Chinese often called by the full name of first name and last name. we seldom have a middle name. people may call your full name or call you xiao+your last name when you are young, call lao+your last name when you are old...in the family, we call sister or brother always.

I prefer having my nickname.and most of my friends and people who knew me call me by nick name.I only use my full name on applications and meetings.On chattings and online activities i never use my real name either full or nick.

i use a shortened version of my name, i just use the first four letters even tho there are 8 letters in my name.

I've always gone by my real name. Some close friends call me "Bree", but outside of my close circle, it's always just "Bridgit".

I'd rathewr be called by a shortened name or my nickname. Pronouncing my entire real name is quite hard and seems very formal. I like it to be more casual in calling me by my nick name.

Hey reiny! I go by my first name because I hate my middle name more than I hate my first name! If it were up to me I would change it altogether! So, since I hate them both I really don't have a choice! And as for my last name, I really hate that! I hated my father and since I never got married I have been stuck with his damn name all my life! I am really screwed! Any solutions to this problem?

My first name is Susan but most people call me Sue I don't mind,The only trouble is if you are out and someone shouts sue about dozen of us look round as it was the most popular name in ninteen fifty seven.There were five Susans in my class at school so the teacher used to say susan c or susan b ect and that way she could cope,some people don't like their name shortened,I can understand that.One woman I knew liked her children to be called by their full names and did she get upset if you forgot.We shorten all our names in our family nobody minds and sometimes nick names are used as well.As long it is used properly and does not hurt the feelings of the person ,it is alright.My uncle is Clarence Frederick and we call him Fred poor man.We did giggle as kids when we found out ,we used to shout clarence and run off but as kids you forget you have to go back eventually.

I am using my First Name as full so far in my life. When I am worked in Malaysia there people shorten my name. Here in India usually we will call people with full first name. When the international companies came here now the culture being changed 75% in corporate companies like IT,BPO and KPO. I wish to use full name. In some cases people feel difficult to call full name. Why don't we use full name of our first name at least this my thought.
