[Opinions] Re: Hot Take: Nicknames Are Overrated
Funny thing: My name is William, but people (who know me well) know me as "Will". It's not that I don't like William, because I'm perfectly comfortable with it; I like being called Will, just as I'm called William. I think that nicknames are up to the bearer; of course, names don't require a nickname! I actually prefer full names to their nicknames...though, I love Sally, Jenny, Gracie, Nell, Allie, and Connie as standalone names (these are nicknames for Sarah, Jennifer, Grace, Eleanor, any Al- name, and Constance, respectively).

My grandma's name is Constance and she goes by Connie!
