Joe Biden's name is actually JOSEPH

Mike Pence is MICHAEL
I could go on and on. I wonder if its because as kids their parents always infantilized their names? I don't know but its a ridiculous trend.
Is this sarcasm, or are you from another country?
Nope. It just befuddles me - especially for someone living a life as a public figure. I understand celebrities taking on 'stage names' but why do sitting representatives choose to be referred to by nicknames? You don't sign a nickname on crucial documents like wills or deeds or legislation. It isn't your name...
I agree. You dont call our President Donnie and Melly. They are Donald and Melania. Have some respect.

I wouldn't give it any thought at all. They are names.

Same thing I would think about a woman who goes by Jenny, Kathy, Mandy, Abby, Becky etc.
I don't care. names evolve in different ways.

In my DH's Italian family, everyone is Johnny, Joey etc. there are also a couple of Johnny raviolis thrown in. It is actually pretty funny.

I remember my mom was pretty critical about the fact that a president would call himself Jimmy (Carter).
