What also throws people is that my nickname doesn't start with the same letter as my given name. I even had one teacher tell me, "You can't do that."

I always love the "but where did that name come from" and you break down the legal name to show the nickname. Mine isn't that hard to figure out. It's similar to a girl name Jordan having the nickname of Dani. Jordan to Dan to Danny/Dani.
