I wish I could get Michael, or even Mike. All I ever seem to get called is *******.

You just dated yourself, dude.

God I forgot about Raymond J Johnson Jr.

I think I saw the remake of that commercial with Bob Euker... When I was a kid...

 

[Krovitz]

My name is Michael Krovitz. Since I was a kid, I've been called just Krovitz. My own girlfriend calls me Krovitz. I have known people for years who don't even know my first name. Sure it's the greatest name ever, but I wouldn't mind Mike, Mikie (what my family calls me), or Michael (what my mother calls me). Occasionally people have asked if Krovitz is my first name. Ha.

I'm pretty sure your first name is Cosmo...


And Krovitz is an AWESOME name! :rockin:

These are the things that make me look like a grumpy jerk. All these little miniscule things all together driving me slowly insane.

My name is James. I just met you. Why are you calling me Jim? Worse, why are you calling me Jimmy. Jimmy is something you do to a lock when you dont have the key. Jim is some other guy. We havent built a working relationship based on mutual respect, so why are you calling me by a nickname?!

Perfectly reasonable, lovely people do this. WHY!?

Arg.

Perfectly reasonable to think this is rude. My name is John, don't call be Jonathon or you're gonna be told that isn't my name.

 

[rs4life]

Jeremiah....people ask 99% of the time what i want to be called

 

[naiek]

My middle name is Joseph and I prefer it to my first name. I contemplated going by Joseph when I was a kid then realized everybody would call me Joe or Joey, so I stuck with Matt

 

[Subsailor]

You could legally change your name to something that is difficult to shorten or lengthen like RALPH!

Happens to be my middle name! my initials = BRW, I was thinking of adding a name between the R and W, something like Emmett or Eugene way back in the 80s when I first learned to BREW.

Your about five post last

I have actually gotten in the habit of asking people with ambiguous names (even friends) what they prefer to be called. Some people get pretty darned sensitive about it.

That being said, I have a brother named Robert that answers to Bob, Bobby, Rob, Robby, Bobber, Bobbernowski, Bobo, Wobby, and Nerd licker.

 

[JoeyChopps]

I think I would like your brother

Well thank you sir.

 

[Blademaker]

My first name is Steve.

Or, as I used to tell my employees, Thats Mr. SOB to you.

 

[flanneltrees804]

I'm Thomas. Don't mind shorter versions but have always introduced myself as Thomas. Everyone calls me Thomas except my two best friends (Tommy), my boss (T-Bone) and an eccentric high school teacher who called me Thorpenstein... Last name is Thorpe. That's my life in a nutshell.

 

[bioguy]

I'm Dave, but people must hear "Steve"...maybe I'm slurring.

Anyway, as long as they call me for a beer, I don't care what name they use.

 

[CidCitrus]

My name is Chris but half the time I introduce myself my introduction is met with, "nice to meet you Curtis." I think it may be my accent..

My name is Curtis, and I often get called Chris. I also get called Kirk if I introduce myself as Curt.

 

[JebCkr]

Could be worse. My name is Jeb. 90% of my introductions go like this.

Me: "Hello, my name is Jeb."
Other person: "Nice to meet you John or Jeff or Jed or Jake or Ted or Red."
Me: J-E-B.
Them: Ohhhh, Jeb. What a neat name..."

 

[LeBreton]

Try being called Yann . . . I always have to repeat it at least once, most still get it wrong and need correction.

Jon, Ian, Yan, Yanni, Yang, Juan, Jan and occasionally 'Young'

Then there is the inevitable question. "Is that short for something . . . like Yannathin?"
