[Opinions] Re: Do you go by a nickname?
in reply to a message by Billina
My family and people who knew me when I was little call me Jenny. I was just Jennifer until my sister, who was immediately Suzy, was born. Since everyone called her by her nn without hesitation, my dad figured I should have a nn too, and started calling me Jenny. At work, I'm Jennifer, and all of my students with the name are also Jennifer- I can't get away from that name, can I? I tried switching to my mn in college, but that only worked with people who didn't know me as Jenny/ Jennifer.
