How many people go by a nickname? Is it because you aren't fond of your given real name? It isn't that I don't like my first name, it is just that it is a bit stuffy for me. My husband doesn't like his first name so he goes by his middle name. Is this pretty common? All of my children go by nicknames or a shortened version of the name we gave them.

haha, poor Elkhawk, is that your name? or a nickname?
I like my name, I only have 1 name: Adrian, and as you can see it is nairdA backwards. So well, I think it's pretty much because real names are a bit long, I ask my good friends to call me Addie, and I also make shortened versions of their names. Like my ex girlfriend was Erika, and I called her Eri, and before her there was Ebbie, Sophie...
Just because it's cute and easier to say, but I liked her names a lot. Same with me.

On the internet I believe in a way that it is just safer to go by a nickname. I like my real name but it is kinda common and it is nice to come online and not have to type my real name for I use it so often when not on line so In all reality I just feel safer using a nickname.
