HelpRe: What names do you consider high class?
in reply to a message by Ottilie
Eh, if your parents had always called you by your full name and corrected anyone who shortened it, you would grow up thinking your name should not be shortened.
I am sure Bradley can go by Brad later in life if he wants. For now though, he is a teen and emphasizes the "I am Bradley, NOT Brad". His mother is an "Elizabeth, NOT Liz" though.
(quotations indicate that is how they actually introduce themselves).
I would not feel right saying Chahlz either, but saying Bradley all the time is bothersome too. I am just verbally lazy I guess.

My mum did that, hated my name being shortened or changed in any way, but it never really bothered me, haha. I guess it's something Bradley really picked up on, though!
