I've never understood the concept of "I'm going to name my child [this],


but we will call them [that]."

Same thing can apply to a pet as well.

Someone's name, kinda by definition, is what you are supposed to call them. Why name someone one thing and call them another?

Maybe it just bugs me because my parents did it to me (I go by my middle name). It's always been a wholly unnecessary complication in my life.
