Note that I didn't get a nickname from her, I have a hard and fast rule, you try to nickname me you get one warning and then I simply ignore your existence entirely, yes even if you're standing there trying to talk to me, pissed a couple of bosses off until they noticed they were trying to be assholes to an actual black belt in assholishness, I'll straight up ignore some dude being eaten by a wild animal because they keep trying to call for help with some nickname they wanted to give me, I don't gotta save you unless you're like, legitimately helpless when you're being that much of an asshole.
No, I took the name my mom gave me as a suggestion but never liked it, and she agrees that I'm more of a Max anyways. I did have more fun when I started shortening it using the last part instead of the first part, and highly recommend anyone naming someone to try and write out a list of ways to interpret the name beforehand. If I didn't enjoy being young and irresponsible too much to risk it and somehow wound up with two daughters I'd insist that their middle names be Tyranny and Anarchy. Tyr, Tyra, Ranny, Yra, Ny-ny, An, Ana, Archy (hard k sound), Chy-chy, etc. Lots of stuff they can play with and see if they like them, cute options to play with, and big serious names if they feel like being big and serious.
As I'm an asshole, I specifically dropped my middle name entirely because I enjoy hassling people who try to enforce rules on me, and the last name I ditched because fuck that dead psychopath and his annoying to spell doubling of letters, I'm not giving his name to someone I love, much less wearing it myself.
I'm going to spend the rest of the day trying to say Banjo with an Australian accent.
Say bay but stretch the a sound out and let your mouth kinda roll around it before cutting it short by noting that it's actually Bay 'n Joe.
