Does anyone shorten your name?

[Hazell B]

"Hiya Haze" is something I hear most days when another plant grower calls me for the afternoon natter. He's the one and only person who shortens my name and to be honest I only noticed that fact today, at the age of 39!

I'm known by a few different nicnames that come from Hazell (H, Nut, Witch, Hassle, etc), but only the one person shortens it to Haze.

Anyone else rarely get their name shortened? Or do you always go for the short version of your name?

I get Raybak a lot, must spend too much time on forums

My name can't be shortened because it's already short enough, but people have lengthened it - I've been known as Jimmy Neutron at school, where everyone knew me as Jim.

So - is "witch" a reference to a plant, Hazell?

[Brown, Jon Brow]

Jonathan = Jon, Jonnie, J, James , Jonty

[Daniel]

I get my name shortened all the time and I don't like it tbh.

If I wanted to be called Dan I'd introduce myself as Dan Or Danny or whatever. But no I introduce myself and Daniel and I get called other names

[Jaws]

Yes, my Mother calls me JAW

Some people mistakenly call me Justin when they can't remember my name.

No, more reference to her hook nose, big black pointy hat she tends to wear and the fact that her favorite method of transportation is a broomstick
