Same here...Mom used both when I was in trouble. My Grandma would do "Johanna Maria!" (Yup...German) to get my attention. Their memory makes me smile....

I go by my childhood nickname DeeDee. My mom named me Denita, she absolutely loved the name, but no one pronounced it right, so she nicknamed me DeeDee and it has stuck.
We have a large family and a few cousins that I used to babysit gave me their own special nicknames. So, I get called Deedles, Deedledee, Deedeedeedee, Neeta, Deetz, Deeds, Nita, and Denny. My dad used to call me Denita Wayne.....still don't know where he came up with that as my middle name is Jean after him. Dad wasn't mad at me either when he called me that...I think he was trying to let me know that mom was the one mad at me at the time.

I use my first name, mostly, or a shortened version, Jo. Other times I'm known as Jojo, and that's because one of the consumers where I work couldn't pronounce my given name, but 'Jojo' came out clear as bell...and it stuck! She has since passed on, but what fond memories...

Crabby Patty

shortened. Patti for Patricia

grammy

middle name.

Pat G

I have always gone by my middle name. Causes a lot of confusion sometimes though. Even now at my tender age, it still comes up.

Depends on where I am.
I go by my middle here and at home, and with friends etc.
But I go by my first at work and doctors etc.
