Name on BC is Kenneth. I go by Kent. At other points in my life I've gone by Ken (dads name, that didn't work) and Kenny (when I was really young).

Kind of......I use my middle name because my first name is a name you don't hear everyday, although i'm used to people calling me by that name now.

I use my full name for anything important, but day to day I use a shorter version.

my full name is Nicholas but I go by Nick. The only people who call me Nicholas are my fiancee, family, or very very close friends. Other than that it's Nick

My name is Kristoffer, but my parents call me "Gossi" :confused: I don't think anyone knows why. My friends calls me "Stoffer".
