HelpRe: Do you go by a nickname?
in reply to a message by Billina
Aw, I like the nn Rach for Rachel :) Though now that I think of it of the four or five Rachels I went to school with only two went by a nn (Rach and Rae). The others only ever went by Rachel!
I prefer going by my full name Tabitha but after almost 30 years I'm not adverse to nicknames. I'm Tabby Cat, Tabby Tabs Tabby, Tab, and Tabs. Tabby Cat and Tabby Tabs is reserved for family and close friends, Tabby for the same plus kids cause I found out when I was a kid they can have problems saying Tabitha lol (and sometimes they even just call me Abby), and Tab and Tabs are for everyone. Hell, even in high school and college the teachers called me Tab/Tabs after hearing everyone else call me by those nns. Bosses and coworkers too.
I don't know why I feel weird when strangers/folks I've only know a while use a nn other than Tab/Tabs though. Maybe cause the other ones are nns I've had since I was a kid while Tab/Tabs originated in hs? I dunno. It feels much too familiar lol
