I don't actually like being called Dan

My preferred name is Daniel, not Dan. I know people here call me that because of my username, but KiwiDaniel doesn't have the same ring to it. And so many people call me that in real life now despite being told not to that I've given up on correcting people, because they seem to go out of their way to get it wrong.
