I go by a nickname about half the time in very familial settings. One of my uncles started calling me "Beagle" when I was a toddler (and every time someone tells the story, the reason why he did is different), and now even my friends and DH call me so almost as much as they do my given name. My brother never uses my proper name, it is either Beagle, or he'll shorten my name down to one syllable - which I hated for the longest time, but have had to get over it since he's much more thick-headed than I am and won't give it up.
