Yeah. Come to think of it @21stamps I was about a year older than T when I decided I was done using my full name. My mom and B always called me Missy at home, but I decided I wanted everyone to start calling me that. Whelp, here we are all these years later. It turns out I knew exactly what I wanted back then. I don't even use my legal name professionally now. I don't mind if people who've known me since before I was 10 or so call me by it (though I've warned them that if they're trying to get my attention in a crowd they need to switch to using Missy; some people who've known me for that long have even switched over) but anyone else who tries it will get corrected. My mom thought it was a phase. Ha.
I can tell how how long people have known me by what they call me.
