"Never default to the shortened version of a person's given name unless they tell you to. Honor thy brother and sister." - someone important, probably.

When I was a little kid I used to get pissed if someone called me Joe, I’d correct them and tell them “My name is Joseph!” 😤😂
Exactly. Respect due, respect paid.
Named the kid something that can be shortened, everyone asked if we were going to call him the shortened version and I told them that I was calling him by his given name. When he decides he wants to be called something else his friends can call him by that, I will call him by the name I gave him 😂🤷♀️
Yes. But if he gets a nickname, he's also stuck with that. For a while a part of my family called me Johnny Fat Boy...which I still hear from time to time :)
