Re: Antonia doesn't have to be Toni (carry it on)
in reply to a message by RDNZL
I think it's a little rude to shorten without permission. It's very rude to continue to do so if you've been corrected. I had a rather bad fight with my brother when he continued to insist on calling John "Jackie" after he said he didn't like that name. It ended up becoming a discussion of respect and values and how incompatible our thoughts on them are, even though the name thing seems small.~Anna~

Exactly. People tend to shorten my name and it drives me nuts. Call someone by the name with which they introduce themselves. It's basic respect.
