How many adults do you know who go by a nickname in daily life?

I feel like half the questions on the subreddit assume that everyone has a formal name and then a nickname which is the name they actually use on a daily basis. Personally, I’m only aware of a handful of people in my social circle or work life who do this and it’s things like John for Johnathan or Maggie for Margaret.

My own name is 3 syllables and… that’s my name. I don’t mind when people shorten it for convenience, but my parents didn’t set out to name me something with the intention that I would be called something shorter.
