My husband had a secretary whose name was Cheryl, but this was a deep dark secret. She went by Cherie and tried to hide the fact that her full name was Cheryl. Somehow my husband found out. There was another employee whose first name was Thelma but she went by her middle name, Lucy, and the fact that her first name was Thelma was also a deep dark secret. Somehow he found this out, too, so one day he entered the room where they both were and said, "Hi. Cheryl. Hi, Thelma" to which Thelma/Lucy replied, "Get the hell out."

Evidently Cherie hated her full name, but I'm pretty neutral towards Cheryl. I don't really like it but I don't hate it.
