I have a friend whose daughter is named Roxanne. She absolutely *forbade* anyone to call her "Roxy", and was successful-the girl is grown up now, and I can't imagine her anything but Roxanne. So be firm, when the need arises.
The name might be a bit iffy in Australia, where I know you don't live-there's a very popular type of cookie there, called "Tim Tams."

I've known many people who insisted on being called by their full names (Daniel and Thomas, for example) and still were often called Dan and Tom either on first meeting or just because other people are ignorant or stubborn or whatever. :-/ I find it rude, personally, when you go up to someone and say, 'Hi, my name is Thomas,' and they reply, 'Hi Tom.' I'd want to say back to them, 'Oh your name is John? Hi Kitten, nice to meet you. Oh that's not your name? Well my name's not TOM!' But I can be an angry person. ;)

Ditto!
I have a friend named "Amy" who insists on refering to my Victoria as Vicki. Sorry, it just reminds me of Vick's Vapor Rub; I really dislike it! I've reminded her that my DD's name is Victoria and we call her Tori or Tori-Kate, but to no avail. I'm ready to start referring to "Amy" as "Amber!"
