Since my name is short (Riku) people don't usually call me by a nickname. Except for one of my friends who calls me Skiggebö. Don't know what for but it sounds stupid

I'm not a big fan of going by my last name, but I've come to expect it really.
What about Joey Joe-Joe Junior Shabadoo?
I hate people calling me Tommy. It's not a name that suits me at all. I used to mildly object to Tommo but in the end it just stuck and see it more as a term of endearment. Anyone outside of my family called me 'Thomas' irks me though not as much as my family calling me 'Tom' would.
Not my words Carol, the words of Top Gear magazine.
IRL, I despise being called Sammie. I can tolerate it online, because I only see it in print. Actually hearing it makes me nuts...
I hate it when ppl shorten my name, Rose is ok but my mum calls Ro, Roie, my older brother sometimes calls me Roso which i carnt stand and one of my freinds calls me Roz. It really bugs me.
I get called Hannah Banana and Hannah Montana a lot. I guess I don't really mind what people call me, but then I hear a lot of the same jokes about how I must be Hannah Montana or something. It was only funny once.
Oh, and I sometimes get called Han but that's only from one friend of mine who says it in such a way that I like it. For everyone else they gotta call me by my real name.
If I get called my full name by my parents, I know I'm in trouble...
Paul, some prat from the factory in my old job once called me 'young-un' From then until the day I left, I blanked him unless I had to talk to him. Nobody patronises me.
I also hate being called Lorna. The receptionist at my old dentist was really bad for it. >=(
