I have to disagree, at least in my case. I *really* dislike my given
name, Matthew -- it sounds nasal and pinched to me. I prefer the nickname
I was given in Russian classes, and which I've managed to keep in a few
social circles (Nikolai); it sounds much more intriguing, having elements
of culture with a few rough edges.
If it's worth anything, though, my fiancee prefers her middle name to
her first.
