L calls me the shortened version of my name every once in awhile. I don't necessarily like it, but I also don't care enough to correct her. In emails, she always writes me as my first initial. When she saw these forums and how I call her L, she just adopted calling me by my first initial...lol. I find it endearing. And once before she called me by my first and middle name. I laughed at that one because she was being really playful.
