I often feel like nicknaming a name is being too *friendly* or perhaps *unprofessional* (almost wrote 'prefessional' there). But some people's names are just really hard for me to get right...
Question for everyone: has being nicknamed ever gotten you offended or anything? Or had you feel like people were being too "friendly"? (Assuming, of course, that the nickname is based on your name -- being nicknamed Sugar Lips might be a bit offensive. Then again, I could be wrong. ) But so many Downers (mostly the ladies) have names like Carnemirialessenduilinawen that it's just necessary to shorten them.

And I've never understood why some people stick an "h" in Fordim's name. Maybe it's a super-funky way of incorporating the Hedgethistle bit into it -- Fordh(edgethistle)im.
