[quote=Anonymous]It’s not always a gender thing. My family and extended family called me by my first and middle name together when I was young. Think of something like Mary Beth. I decided I wanted to just be Mary and really resented the entire thing, thinking it sounded babyish. I am almost 50 and just Mary now. Some extended cousins occasional slip Mary Beth but that’s it. Same with DH. He was a Jimmy from birth to around middle school, when he changed to Jim. When he goes to his hometown, we hear lots of Jimmy. These aren’t really name changes like you mean but they seem it to us. [/quote]
