AIBU to not like my name being shortened?

Almost everyone I know calls me by the shortened version of my name.
My name is French, and lovely, but with my married surname, it all kind of rolls into one when spoken, the shortened version is clearer.
DS always uses his shortened name, it really suits him. DGS was given a name which apparently can't be shortened, but I manage it!
Sazz My best friends name is Sue, but her husband calls her 'Sal'!

Glad it’s not just me! Just a funny aspect of the shortening. When I was in my first job all those years ago when I was 16, Benny Hill did a sketch set in past times when the letter S was written like an elongated F. The main character was called ‘Sad eyed Sal’ but he pronounced it Fad eyed Fal. At work, they started to call me Fad Eyed Fal, which was then shortened to ‘Fad eyed’, then Fad. I was known as Fad until I left!

The only person who shortens my name is one of my sisters-in-law. I hate it, but she is such a lovely person that I put up with it!

One of the short versions of my name - I am not really called Danni - is ok but one sounds a bit young for a lady of my mature years and I cringe when people call me by it. No one calls me by my full name except if I am at the doctors etc.
Sazz if you want to be called Sally just say "I prefer Sally" to your new friends!!

DD has always used her full name, until we moved here and discovered that French speakers cannot pronounce it. She allows them to shorten it but everyone else uses her full name.

My parents/grandparents were kind in thinking ahead when I was being christened as my first two names are lengthy and named after each one of them,but I am actually called by the shorter and more acceptable one beginning with J.

Except when its anything Medical and the nurse calls in a rather loud voice by the first name..... F................and I look around wondering whom it is she is calling.............then the penny drops, and I realise yes,its me!!!

I had an aunt called "auntie Sis". After she died, I found out her name was actually Mary.
She was the eldest of six and all the siblings called her "Sis", so all the cousins thought that was her name.
My son is called Anthony, my husband and Iare the only people who call him that. Siblings, his partner and friends all call him Tony, but it just doesn't feel right.
He says that if I pronounce his name An T ony, everything is goodIf I put the emphasis on An TH ony, , he knows he is in trouble. I was totally unaware that I that.?

So just say nicely ‘I prefer Sally’

Officially i.e. passport etc. my first name begins with E but even mum and dad called me by my middle name which begins with J and is very short. It has two longer versions and very often when I meet new people they call me by one of them.
My friend has a daughter whos name is 5 letters (two syllables) and the shorten it to 3 letters (one syllable) it's such a pretty name too.

My grandma shortened my name to Gilly . Everyone else shortened it even more .

My first husband never used my name but always called me Pet all his friends thought that was my name so everyone called me Pet
So funny now I look back on it

My name is very hard to shorten or change in any way. One cousin manages it and it sets my teeth on edge. I’m lucky no one else joins in, probably see the expression on my face when it happens.

My DD’s name is Kate .

When I told him my new daughters name, my late grandad said “Can you not call her Katherine and shorten it to Kate ? You can’t call her just Kate, people will think she’s a barmaid”

I don’t like my name being shortened. In nearly 70 years only one person has ever called me by a shortened form and strangely I didn’t mind as it was done with great affection. My DH rarely calls me by name . My mother often calls people by their names even when there is no one else in the room.

Mine can't be shortened although I have on occasion been called Annie, how odd, however I just don't answer.
My D is Judith,and it has never been shortened, she won't allow it and I am very pleased.
My S is always called by the shortened version of his by everyone but me.

I’ve always been known by my full name but when I started a job share some years ago I was persuaded to shorten it as my ‘other half’ had the same name and refused to change. I wouldn’t have minded but I later found out it wasn’t actually her name anyway!

My mum was the only person to call me by my full name. When I was about 4 I announced that I hated my name and would only answer to the shortened version. Very few people spell it correctly though.

For as long as I have known her, my sil has been called by her shortened name but for some reason everyone in her village uses her full name. It's very weird!

I like being called Kate, whenever I hear my full name Kathleen I know I am somewhere medical and I hate it.

It is completely up to you. Simply tell them not to do it. People call you what you wish. I know a child christened James and his parents called him Jamie - they intended to have him as Jamie always but when he was about 7yrs he insisted everyone, even his parents called him James.
My name is shortened but that is my choice and how I up introduce myself- I would correct people if they used the full version.
They will continue to call you Sal if you let them.

I don’t really like my name if it’s not shortened
Surely it’s up to you to tell them in a really nice way how you want to be called if they call you Sal just say with a nice smile I hate being called Sal

Mine is Lois, it can`t really be shortened, but there`s one person who calls me Lo. One of my sons is David, but only me and his siblings call him that, to everyone else he`s Dave, and I hate it. My eldest daughter was christened Lynne, we thought it couldn`t be shortened, but when she started to play out with other children, she very quickly became Lynny Pinny!

I am always called by my shortened name. I really don’t like the full version and most people don’t even know that there is a version that is not the name I am known by.

One of my sons has a name that easily lends itself to being shortened, but we never permitted it when he was younger and as soon as he had a voice he wouldn't allow it either. My younger son also has a name that can be shortened and for a couple of years at college and work people used the diminutive. When he started university however he put in the effort required to correct people and now he is only ever referred to by his full name.
I have a name that can't be shortened.

doesn't sound the same as when my dad said it...dont know whats going on with this keyboard .

for years a lot of people shortened my nameand I just let it happen ,then when my parents died I really missed being called by my full name so i told folk thats what I wanted to be calle d and most people call me the full version.Doesn't sound quite the sam eas when my dad said it ...but it'll do
