Real, but always shortened. *looks through wallet.* Seems like my full name is only on my ID :lol:

If it's shortened, then its a nickname :P

Anyway I go by my real name, uncut. :!:

Except it's still a proper name when shortened.
Like Bill (though I never understood where that b came from) :dontknow:
 
Whichever. I was called Brydo by some of my friends from school but not while I was at college and other things. Not really called that anymore but the name will stick with me forever :P
 
Nickname as it's a shortened version of my real name.
 
Well, some people call me (deleted by forum censor), and a couple of the bosses use (removed, inappropriate for open thread). But an old friend of my still says (obsolete, yet offensive, deleted) but that upsets my wife when he uses it around her. And then one of the old BBS admins used an old online name from back then when I saw him the other day and it took me a minute to remember that I used to go by (illegal to post online in Arabic speaking countries).

So, I guess I do have a couple of nicknames. But I didn't pick any of them myself.

I voted for my real name. Most people I know in real life call me by 'Crystal'. The only person who has given me a nickname would be my best friend.
 
Friends and acquaintances call me by my real name, which is John. However, family members usually call me Johnboy.

My friend Jacob calls me Johnny sometimes. Some people assume that 'John' is my nickname and my real name is 'Jonathan'.
 
My real name is :censored: (you can probably guess it) but I'll go by Tammers.
 
Most people call me by my name

However, some use another name as well, and sometimes a shortened version of it. To someone who doesn't know, it might seem like I'm being called three different names. :LOL:
