I go by my first name--first and middle together sound like I"m from the deep south-no offense intended but I'm a born and bred NY-er! My DD goes by her middle name. In 3rd grade she decided she disliked her first name (Kristiana) and went with Joy. She is a Joy, too, so it fits. Last year, after graduating college, she wrote me a letter, told me she was sorry if she hurt my feelings, thinks Kristiana is beautiful. She is still my number one Joy!

I go by my first, but when in high school I had a friend whose name was Candice Kay Lynn, so I wanted to change my name to Mary Lynn Kay. That way I wouldn't have to correct everyone when they spelled my name Marilyn.

[quote=pgthom][quote=G-Maw Wilda]I go by my first name:Wilda,but I sign my name with first, maiden name,last name, the only people that call me by my first and middle name are the older cousins: Wilda Ruth.
I was going to be named after my father, Wilburn James but I was a girl so I got named Wilda. It is a unique name, there are not very many with this name around.

There was a girl in my hometown named Wilda Jane. She was an airline stewardess back in the days when they had to be a nurse. A long time ago!

I use my first because it is unusual (Harmony) but also will use my middle if I want to blend in :)

First name only

Well, I was named Melissa Lynn.

Everybody calls me Lisa.

My immediate family (husband, mom, sister, dad) all call me Dewey. My dad gave me that nickname when I was in high school. I have no idea why. HE doesn't even know why. But it somehow fits ... and it stuck. :-D

I go by my middle name, hated my first name when I was growing up (Ava) but now I love it. My Dads name was Arley and he wanted to name me Arlene, that was ok with my Mom until she found out that was an old girlfriends name. lol
