He named a moon after you.
He's very silly.
Don't tell him I said that.
I'm not on the ship. I'm in the ship. I am the ship.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Now tagless for your comfort.
In happier news, Owen brought Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azikaban home from the school library. He's almost through Sorcerer's Stone and I told him if he reads all the books, I'll buy him the Lego Hogwarts Castle.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I feel that the named always gets to choose what they are called, whether it's a nick, or a long version or an honorific. Unless, of course, it's an elderly person or someone like that, in which case it's more polite to let it slide.
I always ask new employees what they want to be called. Once in a while they HAVE NO PREFERENCE. You don't care if you are called David or Dave? WTF? WHAT IS YOUR NAME?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Hrm. I'm unsure what my ish is.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Aw man, I'm sorry Cash.

...I don't care if you call me (realname), meara, or Indy (drag name). I answer to all three. I like all three (well, OK, I like Indy and meara better, but I answer to realname a little easier because it's so uncommon...)

I have carefully called my BFF's husband and brother (2 different people) Billy and Philip, which is what she calls them. Turns out Billy goes by Bill and Philip "has no preference". I now work with Philip and everyone except me calls him Phil.

I call my sister Al or Ali, but I don't think people who know her outside of family get to call her that. Anyhow, as she saddled me with MY name, she can suck it if she doesn't like it.
