We're not fond of nicknames here, either. Well, we have nicknames for the kids, like Thing 1 and Thing 2, and we call Trapper "Into Shit Bob" but not names shortened from their real names.
One of London's friends used to call her Londie (sounded like Lundy) and oh lordie did I hate that. And I would go insane if people started calling Trapper TJ b/c his middle name is James.
My mom tells the story of a cousin named Curtis, who is younger than she. Mom saw him at a wedding once and said "Hey, Curt, how's it going?" And his mom fuh-reaked OOOOUUUUT on her "IT'S CURTIS! His name isn't CURT it's CURTIS!" so...mom started calling him It's Curtis. Which is funny to me, but his mom didn't find it amusing.
