My parents gave me a boring name - Lori. It is already a shortened version of Lorraine so it can't be shortened or altered. They gave me the middle name of Ann, which also can't be shortened. Notice there is no hyphen between the two names, and yet when people read my full name, they insist on calling me Lori-Ann which I hate.

I gave my sons longer names so that they can alter them if they wished.
