My son is named Thaddeus. Not Tad or Thadd. His name is Thaddeus, from the Bible.

This happened to my daughter in kindergarten , her name is CRYSTAL & the teacher called her Chris, so of course CRYSTAL didn't answer & guess what, I got a call for a meeting. The teacher spouted off how disrespectful my daughter was without telling me why, which ticked me off, I asked what she had done that was disrespectful, teacher said she had called her name & my daughter didn't answer, so I looked at my daughter & asked for an explanation. Mommy she didn't call my name, noise from teacher, I asked the teacher what she called her, Chris, the teacher said, so I asked to see the attendance list, found her name, looked the teacher dead in the eyes & said for the UPPITY teacher, her name is CRYSTAL because I named her CRYSTAL & thats what she is to be called, NOT Chris!!!!! well needless to say I had problems with that teacher almost all year, until I had a meeting with the principal & was told I was not the only parent. I noticed she was not on staff the next year!!

My Dads name was John (like his father’s name), but his mother called him Jack. He was called ‘Jack’ by his friends until the day he died. P.S. my name is John, [also.]👍🏼 They sometimes call me Johnny. Just so they call me on time for supper, is the most important thing.

l feel the same way about my son's name. l named him Jason. One of his teachers in grad school called him Jay, and l politely told her there's no 'y' in his name and to call him Jason. As he's gotten older, a lot of his friends call him Jay, but l never will. His name is Jason.

My name is Deborah, my mother would always remind me that Deborah from the Bible was the leader of her very powerful tribe, and that she was a prophetess.

My brother’s name is Lawrence. We were never allowed to call him. Larry when someone would call the house when we were younger and his Larry she would say nobody by that name lives here. Hang up.😆

I feel the same. My son's name is Brad. One day, his teacher said, "Bradley is doing so good in school." I said, "Who is Bradley?" She said, "My son." I said "My son's name is Brad, not Bradley. " She said, "He answers to Bradley." I said, "He won't be anymore ." I told my son, "Your name is Brad, not Bradley. You only answer to Brad. " He has now only answered to Brad.

Kathryn Seymour
Oakland, CA · 7 months ago

My name is Kathryn Tracy. My Mama named me this because she didn't want me called by any name other than Kathryn or Tracy. As a child they called me Tracy because there's no nickname for that. Mama hated nicknames. She always figured that as an adult it would always be Kathryn because I wouldn't let people call me anything but Kathryn. (I was named after my God Mother). And she was right. I'm 79 years old now and at the age of 55 I started using Kathryn. No Kate or Kathy here.
