My husband calls me "Fer" which I think is cute/unique. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gets-used-moreyour-given-name-or-a-nickname#post-252251 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 15:31:22 +0000 mediagirl 252251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My given name is Jill. My parents named me so no one would call me by a nickname - same with my brother. My husband goes by a shortened form of his name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gets-used-moreyour-given-name-or-a-nickname#post-252235 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 15:21:57 +0000 tequiero21 252235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No nickname here.

I've always gone by Meg. Most people don't realize that it's short for Margaret (they assume it's Megan). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gets-used-moreyour-given-name-or-a-nickname#post-251899 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 11:33:47 +0000 Rescuemom10 251899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first name is Kathryn, but everyone calls me Katie. However I never figured out why my parents never taught me to spell it Katy seeing as how my full name is spelled. Byt the time I realized this as an older child, seemed to long going as "Katie" to change it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gets-used-moreyour-given-name-or-a-nickname#post-251897 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 11:30:48 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 251897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first name is only 4 letters so I don't have a nickname. My husband is the only person who has a nickname for me.

Now, everyone calls me by my nickname. Though when I introduce myself to people I use my full name. I've found that when I use my nickname leaving messages- esp at work - that people expect a man. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gets-used-moreyour-given-name-or-a-nickname#post-251794 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 10:30:44 +0000 MrsBrewer 251794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both, my first name is Jessica, but most people call me Jessy or Jess </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gets-used-moreyour-given-name-or-a-nickname#post-251790 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 10:25:59 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 251790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My name is Emanuella but everyone calls me "mani" to the point where I'm pretty sure there are a handful of people in my life that don't even know that Mani isn't my full name:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gets-used-moreyour-given-name-or-a-nickname#post-251783 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 10:22:30 +0000 MrsTiz 251783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My nickname, absolutely.
