Peoples Names You Can't Shorten

[Quenched]

We all know friends or family that have their name shortened, like Christopher shortened to Chris, Or Kevin down to Kev. 

 

My father had a pet hate about names shortened into a kind of nickname. 

 

But how many names can you think of both male and female that can't be shortened. 

 

I'm going to start with female first : Pat.

Male: Mark

 

How long can we keep this going?

Keith; Ruth; Kim; Joe

Ian, John. 

Quenched; Pat is already an abreviation

[Caribeing]

Pat is short for Patricia(female) Patrick (male) can't imagine someone just being named Pat.

Caribeing, 

 

Yes I know someone called Pat, and she hates it if someone calls her Patricia. 

 

I also know someone called Chris, and he goes crazy if someone addressed him as Christopher. 

 

Also moving forward, I know someone called Mark, yet his work mates called him Marcus, yet he hated that too. 

 

So needlessly lengthening the name can equally annoy the person.

I didn't realise that you'd met me, Quenched!  😊
