Does It Annoy You Some, When Someone Disregards What You've Just Told Them Your Name Is?

@Peapod I'm fine with and actually like a couple different shortened versions of my given first name, also.

@Piper I always got a kick out of you and a few others calling me "Peas". 🤗

@Peapod Yeah, but I didn't call you that right [i]off[/i]! 🤗

@Piper even if you did, I see it as a term of endearment. I do see how shortening some names could be done to insult though.

@Peapod That's the thing, and something I started to mention in the above reply. By the time I called you "Peas", you [i]knew[/i] I meant it as term of endearment.
If you'd just told me I could call you Peas, I wouldn't call you "Pea"! 🙂

@Piper I think the point is, is that you can tell what someone is about.

I think of my own real name and how some kids used a shortened version of it to tease me. Then there were others that could call me the same thing and I knew it was a positive thing.

Having good intuition about people really helps in such a situation. People will always get our names wrong, but what goes behind it is really the issue.

@RogueLoner it's not a time thing with me. It's a feeling that I get with others that they genuinely like and respect me.

@RogueLoner That has never been a number of years sort of thing with me, at all.

@RogueLoner I did. I remembered Peapod from SodaHead you see, but never called her "Peas" back then...although we'd occasionally conversed in the public forum there.

[quote]So I guess it's a degree of how much you like or dislike someone. Got it. Some are allowed, some are not. [/quote]

It can be, yes.

@Piper exactly right. But I also saw how you treated others in general before we ever got to chatting in private. So there was no way I was going to feel you were being disrespectful, regardless of how you addressed me.

@Peapod I think I even asked you, if you minded me calling you Peas. While this question was 'inspired' by a conversation I had on the phone with someone I'd never spoken to before and probably never will again...it is still a similar sort of thing. There is no hard and fast "rule", about when it can be a little annoying.

@Piper knowing you the way I do, you probably did indeed ask if it was OK.

@RogueLoner I was called a shortened version of the nickname I'd just told someone they could call me. It was after I asked her if was okay if I called her by her first name.
It is that and other times like that spurred this question, and not just directly related to [i]me[/i]. I did not admonish the person, and there was no playful, "teasing" term of endearment in any way possible.

@RogueLoner There really isn't much to ponder, about it.

@RogueLoner Well now, Rog, I figured you might not be. 🙄🙄🙄

Is there some playful, teasing term of endearment you feel you've been "admonished" for and would to share, then?

@RogueLoner I do not personally think, that any those "rule" descriptors apply to what name people prefer to be called.

@RogueLoner Great! 😏😏🙄🙄🤔🤔
