I like my real name. I don't like it when people shorten it. It's a name that can be spelt a few different ways so it's a bind that I have to spell it quite often and it's a bit irritating that I get so much mail with the incorrect spelling on it.
I think my kids like their names.
I think my cat likes her name too.
I hate it when people call their kids "Darling" instead of using their proper name. There's a lot of that amongst middle-class brits. It makes me cringe. What's the point of spending ages choosing a good name for your kids and then calling them "darling" at every opportunity. Vomit.
