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.

I have the same first name as Rainman. Always kind of hated that there is no real option for shortening it (NO, that is not acceptable!). For this reason I wished for a long time to have been given the name James. So many options (not as many as William or Richard though)!

I’ve always ended up with nicknames. Spott was what my friends called me growing up in KC. Everyone at work calls me Chucky because of my resemblance to John Gruden.

Share the same first name as my father. I was given a nickname when I was young and it stuck.
