- Yes, but have you ever had people argue with you about what your name is?
- My parents disliked nicknames and mostly named us kids short versions of a
- name or short names with no common nickname. My birth certificate (yes I can
- prove I was not found under a rock) has Larry on it (my middle name is top
- seceret info, but is similarly short) and people have refused to believe that
- I'm not turely a Lawerence.
