Well it honestly depends. I don't mind sunshine. I don't mind "sunny" although I admit that it surprises me when someone new calls me sunny. I consider "sunny" more a term of endearment and reading it from someone who doesn't know me kind of startles me. I just figure I'm some gal on line and their shortening it.... Don't worry... In my head I know it's about key strokes. I have one of those "-y" names in real life that pretty much NOBODY gets to call me. Only one person gets to, and he's been my friend for over 20 years. Here, though, it's actually kind of fun to have that - it makes me feel a little girly and sweet . When I shorten someone's name, it's generally because I don't feel comfortable with their name for some reason. Most of the ladies and gentlemen who have titles in their name will find I usually drop the title. Also, I also don't feel comfy calling "Arpig" that - it just wigs me out, so I just all him Ar (in my head I'm calling him "ar ar ar" as in laughter. Ok, that's not actually true, but I WISH it were!). Same with people who have names like "cunt for use" or some nonsense. I'll call her C4 or something. It just (blush blush) bothers my prudish sensibilities. (shup). The other reason I don't call people by their names is I forget who the OP is, and rather than lose my post or copy and paste and then go back, I just call them OP. Jst another sub - I always call you JAS (or at least I think I do). I think you are pretty snazzy jazzy [:)]. I generally won't call people names with adjectives either. "sexy red" becomes Red. "Daddy's Red head" Virgin Potty became VP (but you know that). That Mr. Ebony Wood really made me nuts because Ebony was an Adjective and Wood was a ... well... I associated it as a naughty word, and I just ... um... well...never you mind. best, sunshine
