I like being called Nina here.
It's my abbreviation of one of my real names. The name I'm known by in the real world cannot be shortened.

How do you feel about having your Gransnet name abbeviated? I just realised that I do it all the time but would never do so if we were face to face unless it was clear that you were happy with it. I would never do it in an email either so why do I do in on Gransnet?
I don't like my real name being abbreviated but am quite happy with all the ways my Gransnet name has been. How odd 
Well no-one has shortened me to "moo" yet which, I think, is good? 
moo I have been tempted to shorten your name a few times but it doesnt quite roll off the tongue 
That's fine glass, someone called me mal which took a moment to get but I don't mind at all as long as you are not unpleasant in the message.
ella renamed me smellie
With love though smol
