Tell me about your first name.

When you introduce yourself to someone, what do you want them to call you? Is it the name that's on your birth certificate? A nickname? A shortened version or your formal name? Do you just make up different names on the spur of the moment, leading to a web of deceit where you can never see more than one acquaintance at a time?

Poll coming as soon as I can properly introduce it.

My wife's name is Kristin and people are constantly misspelling it with an e or calling her Kirsten or Christina. Strangely, no one ever calls her Kris or Krissy, me included.

For me, my grandpa, my dad, me and my oldest son all have the same first name and different middle names. My grandpa went by his first name and the rest go by our middle names. My dad did use his first name professionally and so did I in the Army and in college, where it was difficult to inform people that I don't use that name. In the Army, it was weird because my friends would call me by my middle name and everyone else called me by my first name.

I don't understand how some of you have different names for different people. My name is my identity, and it has to be consistent or I'll cease to exist.

My middle name is my identity. My friends and family all call me that. People that call me by my first name are more formal relationships and it is no different that someone calling me Mr. Lastname.

This thread, for some reason, reminds me of a weird name situation in my boyfriend's family. His grandpa was Frederick Lewis. His dad is Fredrick Louis. I guess they didn't want a junior. His grandpa went by Fred, and his dad goes by Rick. The similar name, although spelled different, has given his dad a lot of headaches over the years. My boyfriend and our son share his dad's spelling of the middle name Louis.

Well, that's a good point. I guess I can be Rain or I can be Mr. Man.

My mother goes by her middle name. I'll see if I can get her to sign up and take the poll.

I figured if anyone had a stage name, it would be Rain Man.
