I love that my nick-name is childish; it provides a break from unnecessary constraints of formality. I've been informed that folks think of me as a "serious person" & that my professional presence bears an intimidating intensity amongst or colleagues or peers; my childish nick-name, among other descriptions or classifications of my nick-name, eases this. As I've learned these descriptions of my personna, i.e. - how others ascertain me socially, I've done all I can to soften my demeanor. I like to think of my childish nickname as a curse which I've turned into a blessing.
