"I know what a nickname is, Damian. Somebody I used to know would always call me Mid. It's still my name, and it's still just as personal. If he doesn't mind, then that's different. But they should still call him what he wants to be called." There were exceptions and variations and none of this was as cut and dry as she was trying to make it out to be...but that one statement, she could always fall back on. Because it was genuinely what she believed.
