HelpRe: Antonia doesn't have to be Toni (carry it on)
in reply to a message by Millie
I've seen a lot of people on here say, "I know a (Name) who is never called (Nickname), but always the full (Name), so it's not inevitable."
My experience has been the opposite. I've known people who absolutely insist on shortening a name no matter what the bearer of the name wants. So even though they may be known as Full Name to most people, they aren't to everyone.
And it's not as big a deal as it sounds and not as rude as it sounds.
Anyway, that's why I'm in the "If there is any possible nickname that you despise, better forget it" camp.
