HelpBeing nicknamed
Hello everybody.
I'm asking especially people whose names are 7 letters long or more; generally to all the people who are called by a nickname -in the sense of diminutive or abbreviation, for example Maggie for Margaret, Ellie for Elizabeth, Ben for Benjamin, Josh for Joshua etc.
I am always called by an abbreviation of my long name, except for school and official occasions.
I sincerely don't like being nicknamed, because I like my whole name as it is, and it doesn't matter if it's long. Also, in most cases nicknames cut off a part of their meaning to the original names.
What is your experience? Do you prefer being called by your entire name or by a nickname? How do you feel about it? Lemme know. ;-)
P.S. Here is the link of an interesting video about nicknames:
