My name is my nickname. I'm burdened with a surname that nobody can pronounce or spell but it has a winny sound in it so that's what everyone hooks on to. Except when I was an Air cadet when at my first role call the corporal couldn't pronounce my surname and said 'er.. Fred' so I was called Fred for 4 years.. When people use my real name it takes a second or 2 for me to realise it's me they are talking to.
