We are about the only people who call our daughter by her given name. Everyone else uses a version of it. We gave our son a short name so it wouldn't get shortened and then at primary school it got lengthened. |

I prefer Rose or Rosie ( for family and close friends it has always been Rosie), to Rosemary but what really narked me for years was the person who always wrote Rosy, when she knows it is Rosie. |

Ann, my sister is called Anne-Marie. Our brothers called her Anne-Murud, (which she hated), so she became just 'Anne'. |

Everyone calls me 'Chris' except for my Mum who uses 'Christine' when talking to people who don't know me so they know I am female. |
