Help[Opinions] Re: Quick question for all concerning nicknames
in reply to a message by Jewel
I live in the US.
I was born Betsy (my Dad still calls me Betsy Lou). No one in my family ever called me anything else. Elizabeth was given to me primarily b/c it is family name and my parents (specifically my mom) wanted me to have a formal name. In high school and college some friends called me Bets but I never introduced myself that ways! I knew a girl in college whose name was Kathleen who decided when she went to school that she wanted to be called something different and started (first day of frosh orientation) introducing herself as Dallas. She was called that throughout college!
