I work in tech support, and our software is used by companies in a specific industry. This means that we often call the same people.
One of them is named Boo. I don't know if it is his given first name, or a nickname. It doesn't matter, it's what he wants to be called.
Talking to him the other day had me thinking about Bear on the drive home. I went to school with him from kindergarten on. His nickname given to him by his brother was Bear. By first grade he was insisting that everyone call him that. By sometime in the middle of gradeschool, everyone did, even teachers.
I wonder if he still goes by Bear, at whatever job he has. I hope he does. He always hated John, he said he didn't like being named after a toilet.
