    tbh - I LIKE it when people call me Merit or Meri! I didnt think I would as I hate my given name being shortened! But then - who wants to be called Cah? Its two syllables fgs!

    Nope....I couldn't care less. I am Annie....sometimes get called Ann...it matters not a jot o me.
  • I have occasionally been called KFB on this site, but it was quite a common abbreviation on another site I used to use. I quite like it. As ali says, it seems more friendly (hope you don't mind if I call you ali, poster of post 3 :D).

    So feel free to call me KFB, it's much shorter to type as well :)


    Eta: my real name can't really be shortened and i don't like it anyway. I much prefer my middle name.

    I usually get shortened to MI3 which makes me think of some kind of academy for failed secret agents!
