My favorite was Cardi B being short for Cardigan Backyardigan

Huh, i always thought it was short for Cardiovascular Bronchitis

My favourite gotta be Jimothy

We've named the two squirrels in our backyard Jimothy and Jeromathy.

I know a pair of brothers named James and Timothy and Jimothy is of course their collective name. Always has been. How could it not be?Also Jimmy and Timmy.

I call a manager at work "Jimothy." He does not find it amusing.

"Raaaaaaames Jaaaaaaaaynor"

"Friends let friends kill civilians."

Billiam has been my favorite for years. My buddy will was always annoyed

Bobert, eventually known as Boberto, really didn't really appreciate that the names stuck

I know a Billy Bob (he does not appreciate using those names instead of William Robert) but I need to take it to the next level now.

Billiiam Boberto

Billiam Boberto is a glorious name, I don't see why anyone would object to that.

I had an aunt and uncle named Hillary and William.

Usually known as Hil and Bill.

Occasionally known as Hillary and Billary 😄

Hey, Bud! Or is it Budley? Budward? What's Bud short for?

A friend once took a sharpie to a buddy's name tag at work, changing Craig to Graig. At first he couldn't figure out why the customers kept calling him Greg, then some lady said something like "I've never seen such a unique spelling of the name Graig before. He looked down n saw his name tag. Hilarity ensued. 10/10 would recommend to anyone who works with a Craig at a job that people wear name tags for.

My mom has a dog named Teddy and me and my wife call him Tedward or Teddison all the time.

Our Andy went from Andronimo to just Mo, he has to explain it at least 3 times a day lol

Help me out, what's a good one for Jessica? I wanna annoy my sister :)

I have used Jessandra/Jessessandra, Jessinald, Jesstancia, Jessentina, Jessanca, Jesstoria, Jessody, Jesselia, Jessolet, Jessilda, Jessephine, Jessevieve, Jessentine, Jesselaide, Jessalie, Jesselope, Jessatrice, Jesselia, and many more. Just because she introduced herself saying her name was easier to remember than the other two that had just introduced themselves. Admittedly I can't remember their names.

I'm afraid you're shit out of luck. Jessica is already an elongated name. If it were something like Jess, you could use Jessilda.

Oh yeah I pretty much exclusively call her Jess or J. Not sure why I didn't just put Jess in the original comment lol.

Jesslinda is amazing! She's gonna hate it, it's perfect. Ooh, I like Jessabeth too.

I forgot all about it, but when we were younger I used to call her random J names for a while. Jeremy was a favorite. Good times.

You could always throw on a hyphenated middle name. She's no longer Jessica, she's Jessica-Anne.

I have a short full name, think something along the lines of "Sam Dal" (it's not, but same vibes), a lot of people ask what Sam is short for, but the answer is nothing, my legal name is just Sam. My friends will call me "Samuel Jay Dalford" as running joke. Made additionally funny because it's a masculine name and I'm not a man.

Reminds me of my old coworker Frank. His dad was Fransisco but his parents just went for straight up Frank lmao

That's esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress Margoritaville Robbiertson to you!

Sometimes I call a coworker Stevinold. He's usually nonplussed about it.

I do that when I fuck with scammers. When I give them fake names I come up with some improper spelling of an incorrect long form name....Or do I? Maybe I stopped doing that recently...If any scammers from any country are reading this, I'm always changing my methods.
