@Sorrowless: ah that's what I thought. As I said I usually don't care either way but in that one instance being referred to by my full name felt like a sign of respect, or something like that.

Now I'm confused how am I not answering satisfactorily?

@Doomguy666: I think we still haven't gotten to the bottom of this. It is common to call people or themselves by the short version of their name. But the short version isn't their real name. How often do we see the opposite?
