in the same sort of thinking i don't like strangers shortening people's names. my brother is called daniel. my mum hates names you can shorten (hence claire) but she was persuaded at the last minute to go for 'daniel' rather than 'graham' - that became his middle name. hey, i'm going to nominate that for your names you don't hear much anymore thread - graham. graeme. in you go. anyhiz, he is always daniel to us. not dan, danny, or (oh, my teeth hurt with annoyance just thinking about it, but some people do it) danny boy. when people who have just met him use those names just to have a more jocular sort of familiarity it really frustrates me - why don't you go and christen him yourself, ya goof?

Re: Quiz for the females
Yup.
I can't stand if someone I don't like calls me "Dave." I used to work with this one guy who, finally, I just told him not to call me that.

Re: Quiz for the females
I'm okay with being called a girl by other females or guys my age and younger. Beyond that it's kind of degrading.

Re: Quiz for the females
It would bother me if someone refered to me as "woman" in a serious way. Mainly because, I, too, associate the word with old, boring people and/or retro housewives.

Re: Quiz for the females
The only person allowed to call me darlin is the old lady at Waffle House. Also, she is the only person allowed to pat me on the bottom as well. Also, she is the only person who wants to pat me on the bottom.

Re: Quiz for the females
I'm just a girl....
What I really hate if people (mainly guys) call me '"lilla gumman" (little "old lady") which is often used by guys as "sweetheart" for their girlfriends or parents for their kid daughters. I've always found it deminishing and would never answer if someone called me that.
