Our 3rd daughter's name, Rachael, took a long time arriving.
My wife and I agreed on her name and it went on her birth certificate.
But then, for reasons completely un-remembered now,
the entire family started calling her Shelly.
On Shelly's 18th birthday she vigorously announced
that from then on she would be called by her real name.
She actually ignored anyone using her "nickname" until they changed over.
Her Mom and Dad probably had the hardest time making the switch.
