Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
If someone tries to call me Sue - they are immediately corrected. There is one person in the world who can call me that and she is my childhood friend and I haven't seen her in years.
Ha! Similarly, Susie is the one diminutive of my name that I cannot bear. My full name is Susan, but I go by Sue because I was named after a Sue. (It was my brother's grade 2 crush.)
And to make it .... something.... it was an internet proxy marriage overseen by an imam in Bangladesh.
Yikes!
Is she being expected to go home and, um, take up her duties?
May I use this as a tag line?
Certainly!

Wow. Arranged marriage?
Oh, and on the name front, my sister answers happily to Rebecca or Becca, but there has been exactly one person in her life who didn't get chewed out for calling her Becky. I don't know a lot of Beckys, come to think of it.

If I think someone is calling me Susie versus Suzi...it bugs on a level I can't even explain. I can't stand Susie. It actually more closely sounds like Sus-san, but if I'm not Sus-san, I'm Suzi, mind the Z.
In high school, I did go by Fred within my group of friends for a while (there was another Susie in the group - hey maybe that is where my pickiness comes from).
Post high school I went by Lexi when we went out. Susie was still part of our group and Fred wasn't the best name to go by when meeting guys.
Those names sound exactly the same. Shhhh don't tell Suzi.
I pretty much answer to all permutations of my name: Jill, Jilli, Jillian. Of course, it's also been proven that I will answer to "goth girl" or "cupcake".
Ok...Becky...gah, can't do it. Sorry, Rebecca. Though when I see you in person, it will probably be a mix of Rebecca and Ms Belle.
