This reminds me of getting used to my married name... I went from VanderBurg to Blount. I LIKED VanderBurg, a lot. I teased my husband that we should both change to VanderBlount. Also, the first time I was in a classroom for grad school, post marriage, I almost missed my name because I wasn't listening yet. : P And who knew, VanderBurg was easier to pronounce for most folks than Blount.
Not many people shorten my first name (Kristen), except for my family. Of course, I also am called Christine, Christian, and other assorted versions of my name. Which leads me to ask to be called Kris, if they can't get the rest of it right.
