Nickname not related to my real name. A handful of people call me by my real name. And then there are a few that emphasize my real name thinking it pisses me off...which it doesn't. And then there are a few people that added to my nickname that I find humorous.

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.

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