I go by a shortened version.

ClevelandBronco · 02-21-2009, 11:28 PM

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.)

Is your first name Elizabeth and you go by Eli?

Okay, maybe not, but it's possible.

Fine. I admit it. My first name is "Possible," and my parent always called me "POS."

Thanks for outing me.

My full formal first name, but I'm called "Bran", or just "B", alot.

**luv** · 02-21-2009, 11:37 PM

Every once in awhile, my mom would call me by my first AND middle name. Although, she used to do that more with my brother.

Yep, that's when you know you're in trouble.

That must be the purpose of the middle name, I can't think of any other time its ever been used.

My dad has two middle names, and my middle name is my dad's first name, so when my mom got mad she would throw all that together... I'm surprised she always remembered what she was mad about by the time she finished yelling my name.

Mods... name change is totally in order....
