          @monkeyninja I work in technology. They'd just call me. "Moss."

            @timjclevenger I definitely have both my Moss days and my Roy days...and once a blue moon a Richmond day.

              @monkeyninja Uno-reverse them and call them "Timberly".

              Also, pretend you thought Kim is short for Kimothy.

                @monkeyninja one person in my life has called me Mothy, and I quite liked it. I’ve never consciously chosen to be called ‘Tim’, now I think of it. Perhaps I should seize some agency over this.

                    @monkeyninja my dad calls me Timothy, but basically nobody else. That’s my ‘official’ name, but as I say, now I think of it, I never consciously chose ‘Tim’, but here we are (I’m definitely not a Timothy).

                          @ratcatcher I was not aware of their existence until just now but I am delighted that someone is using "Moth" as their abbreviated first name, this is lovely.
