Re: Would you still use a name if you hated all the nicknames?

I really dislike when parents (or even the people themselves) mandate that other people MUST call them a full name and never a shortened version

Why? If I've named my child Nicholas I've named him Nicholas and not Nick. Why is it okey to rename someone just because you can't say a three syllable name instead of a one syllable name? I've never been called by any nickname (outside of home) and it confuses me when people call me by a nickname because that's not me/my name. I would never automatically shorten a name because, yes it is disrespectful.
Anyway, I do my best to never call anyone by a nickname so I guess I'm no better than you. :)
