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. ;)
