If you find someone starts calling you one of these and it makes you cringe, or just is weird to respond to, it's going to be harder to change it once you've decided on something. Whereas you come across a nickname and find it fits, it's easier to shorten or swamp from your full name.

You might actually find you like your full name better than you think, or someone might come up with something you would not have thought of yourself.

That all reminds me of "trail names". The Appalachian Trail (2,200 miles/3500 km) is a popular trail that is close to me. Most hikers on the AT are given a trail name at some point and many stop using their given names). Kind of like avatars lol
