I noticed the Jack thing a while back. What is our equivalent? John? Which mutates into Jack.
I loathe shortened names. I call both my kids by their given name and hate it if people shorten mine. My daughter has a name that can be shortened a hundred different way. Yup, I was a thick idiot not to think about that sooner.
I used to be very close to someone and we would chat extensively via gogletalk. Obviously you don't use names when you do that. Once in a while he would say 'I love you (name). It was really powerful because it was so personal.
