I went by my shortened nickname before I can remember.

My parents evidently went through my family tree looking for some asshole they've never heard of before who had a name that I guess sounded good at the time, then evidently decided it wasn't bullyable or teacher confusing enough and effed it up further, then they gave me a shortened nickname of it anyway.

I should ask them what the hell they were thinking.

Anyway, as the Bobs and Williams of the world see no problem with making every fast casual/fast food place demand your name, and I have long grown weary of arguing with cashiers about it, I just tell them my name is Bill.
