I don’t understand why people named Timothy would shorten their names to β€œTim” when β€œMoth” is quite clearly the superior choice.
@monkeyninja one person in my life has called me Mothy, and I quite liked it. I’ve never consciously chosen to be called β€˜Tim’, now I think of it. Perhaps I should seize some agency over this.
@swisslet I love this.
@monkeyninja my dad calls me Timothy, but basically nobody else. That’s my β€˜official’ name, but as I say, now I think of it, I never consciously chose β€˜Tim’, but here we are (I’m definitely not a Timothy).
