Back in Dallas, I go by my first name. My husband calls me by my middle name which is what I go by in the Austin area.
The only one to call me by my full name was my aunt, it didn't matter if I was in trouble or not, she called me by my full name!

When I mentioned my maiden name, one of the young (late 20s!) women asked, "Oh! Were you named for her?!" :? :| :roll:

I guess mine would be a combo - I have always been Maribeth, but my given name is Mary Elizabeth and I will never answer to that because I assume I am in trouble if you are calling me that.:-D
My mother spelled my name with an 'i' so I wouldn't be mistaken for a southerner, kind of silly for a gal known around Boston, Mass. as Dixie :-) and I told her a long time ago, that if she didn't want me to be southern she shouldn't have moved to the south.
