A pet hate of mine is someone shortening my real name.
Do you prefer a shortened version of yours (if it can be) or do you prefer it whole? |

My name is only a syllable, it can't get much shorter. My parents make it longer and call me Jacob which annoys me. |

Most people use a shortened version of my name - my birth name is only used in a work scenario, when someone is annoyed with me, patronising me or wanting to fuck me with sweet talk.

Reply privately (closed, thread got too big) | |
Like some others posting on this thread, mine is a single syllable with no potential for shortening other than to the initial. I can tolerate, but don't encourage, that.
However, it can be incorrectly lengthened to a similar name which some wrongly assume to be my given name.
Also it can be lengthened into a diminutive form which I don't welcome, particularly with 'boy','babe','baby' or 'me lad' appended! |

The only people who shorten my real name are the ones who are pretending familiarity, if they were really familiar with me they'd know not to.

I rarely ever tell anyone my first name, because it caused me a lot of hassle as a child, within my family.
When anyone addresses me by my first name, it causes me inordinate stress and makes the hairs on my neck stand up.
I have considered changing it by deed poll, but cannot settle on an alternative.
I prefer it if I am addressed as 'you' or by an expletive. |

I have a name which doesn't really benefit greatly from being shortened.
When I sign off emails in work I swap the last letter for another as people have created a similar name for me and I even refer to myself as it.
My boyfriend on the other hand creates ever expanding variations to my name.
Our friends use the male version of my name for me and its also the Spanish male version of my name.
I find it all fun and join in with the silliness

I prefer my name shortened. Basically that's because my Mum only ever called me by my full name when I was in trouble, and that has stuck with me.
Plus it sounds friendlier.

"My name is 3 letters long, if someone shortened it, I would be impressed "
Our daughter is 3 letters, my father in law shortened it to 2 letters the very first time he met her. I was NOT impressed. He hasn't done it since.

"I loathe my name being shortened."
Me too. I don't answer to anything but my full name. I hate when people presume they can call me anything else - I call out anyone who does this |

"A pet hate of mine is someone shortening my real name.
Do you prefer a shortened version of yours (if it can be) or do you prefer it whole? "
Both our first names can be shortened.. We call each other by our full names so expect others to as well. |

I’ve never been called my full name, even by my parents. It gets shorted down to 4 or 2 letters xx |

"Shortened version, only person who used my full name was my mum when I was younger & if that was my full first & middle names...knew I was in trouble "
Same for me ... and even now my mum still calls me by my full name when she’s cross with me ... |

"My male name is always used shortened and sometimes my female name is too.
I'm happy with thatas Soph sounds OK and I dislike my full male name"
I'm the opposite as I hate my name being shortened |

Shorten version for me , only used to my name being used in full when i was in trouble with my mum or dad haha |
Reply privately (closed, thread got too big) | |
I don't like it at all. It seems to be a regional thing. At home growing up nobody shortened it. Now at work there are a few who constantly shorten it the worst is our CEO who himself has his full name and its not shortened so why the feck does he think it's acceptable to shorten everyone else's? |

My name can't be shortened, it can be lengthened to something else, which people often do. It doesn't help my middle name is the name they lengthen it to. |

Don't think my full name is ever used.
I generally don't shorten other people's though unless it's preferred by them. |

I prefer the short version - my full name is just too much - feels too formal or makes me think ooop what did I do lol. He’s even better and generally people call him by the one letter

Many people shorten mine but it doesn't bother me. Some people have made it longer through nicknames and I find that endearing. |
