HelpRe: Christopher
in reply to a message by queenv
My friend Richard wont let me call him Rich or Rick, it's really annoying.
Yeah I think it's different in different areas. I know a lot of people who get really bratty about nicknames. My friend Chris was Christopher until he was like 18 and got really mad when it was shortened. I know tons of Williams, and if their names get shortened they get shortened to Will. I know multiple Jacobs that aren't Jake, and most of the Rebeccas I know don't have permanent nicknames. My friend is Alexandra as often or more than she's Alex. The former dean of my school was uptight about being called Cindy instead of Cynthia. My friend is actually dating a kid who goes by Matthew and not Matt. In my experience, more people refuse to go by nicknames than embrace it, except in a few really standard ones, and even then it's not so uncommon.
I hate when people are uptight about this kind of thing, either way.
