Pretty hard to shorten LeAnn. Although, I had a few friends call me Vern in high school after they learned my middle name. That never stuck, though.

**Rain Man** · 02-21-2009, 11:26 PM

I go by my full formal name and it's what my parents always called me. My name doesn't really have a shortened version, so it's either go by the name or switch to the middle name or a nickname.

My middle name is cool, but doesn't match my persona at all, and no one will call me my preferred nickname of Coyote.

ArrowheadHawk · 02-21-2009, 11:26 PM

I go by a shortened version.

Find new friends. I mean really what kind of friend won't call you Coyote?

Shortened version of my first name. My parents chose that version.

Frankly, I'd rather not share it here.

(It's not Frank, so don't even start.)
