I have no problem,it is done affectionately,only one person shortens my real name,my brother,I am fine with that,mum used to do it to try and be ' matey' I hated it.

How do you feel about having your Gransnet name abbeviated? I just realised that I do it all the time but would never do so if we were face to face unless it was clear that you were happy with it. I would never do it in an email either so why do I do in on Gransnet?

I don't like my real name being abbreviated but am quite happy with all the ways my Gransnet name has been. How odd smile
