My favourite gotta be Jimothy

- I like Tederick, and Billomena
- I know a pair of brothers named James and Timothy and Jimothy is of course their collective name. Always has been. How could it not be?Also Jimmy and Timmy.
- I call a manager at work "Jimothy." He does not find it amusing.
- Jimothy Jonathan and his freaky fast delivery
- Jimothy, Jimberly, and Dillup are some of my go-to's
  
  Also Jonald or Dougery.
- I prefer Bimothy. Bim for short.
  
  Bim comes. Ben comes. Bim brings Ben broom. Ben brings Bim broom.

That is called a "nichard name".

My sister calls my dog Bessie and I'm like, bitch she ain't a cow. If you need more name than Bess her full name is Bessica.
- really missed an opportunity for Bessaphine.
  
  Bessebel

Billiam has been my favorite for years. My buddy will was always annoyed
- Bobert, eventually known as Boberto, really didn't really appreciate that the names stuck
  
  I know a Billy Bob (he does not appreciate using those names instead of William Robert) but I need to take it to the next level now.
  Billiiam Boberto

  Usually known as Hil and Bill.
  Occasionally known as Hillary and Billary 😄

Elongated Muskrat

Bike is short for bichael

Tedward is one of my favorites

Jimothy and Benneth and Kenjamin

I refer to our IT director Jeb as Jeborah
- Jeborah Kermankowski
  
  Jebediah Kerman's Jewish cousin?

I have a cat named Paul which I sometimes call Paulexander.
- Not Pawlexander? Weak.

My all time favourite is "Bike is short for Bichael."

Hey, Bud! Or is it Budley? Budward? What's Bud short for?

It’s very appreciated. I’d say too appreciated.

A friend once took a sharpie to a buddy's name tag at work, changing Craig to Graig. At first he couldn't figure out why the customers kept calling him Greg, then some lady said something like "I've never seen such a unique spelling of the name Graig before. He looked down n saw his name tag. Hilarity ensued. 10/10 would recommend to anyone who works with a Craig at a job that people wear name tags for.

A girl I went to high school with had a teddy bear named Tedward.

My mom has a dog named Teddy and me and my wife call him Tedward or Teddison all the time.

Our Andy went from Andronimo to just Mo, he has to explain it at least 3 times a day lol

What is Barold?
- Barry
  
  Ahh thank you
- Barry lengthened into Harold?
- It's a shortened form from an old medieval profession: the Baroldry master.
- For when someone's not quite a Barrington.
  Also works for Gary/Garold/Garrington.

Help me out, what's a good one for Jessica? I wanna annoy my sister :)
- I have used Jessandra/Jessessandra, Jessinald, Jesstancia, Jessentina, Jessanca, Jesstoria, Jessody, Jesselia, Jessolet, Jessilda, Jessephine, Jessevieve, Jessentine, Jesselaide, Jessalie, Jesselope, Jessatrice, Jesselia, and many more. Just because she introduced herself saying her name was easier to remember than the other two that had just introduced themselves. Admittedly I can't remember their names.
  
  Yay! This is a gold mine. Thank you
- Jessifer
- I'm afraid you're shit out of luck. Jessica is already an elongated name. If it were something like Jess, you could use Jessilda.
  
  Oh yeah I pretty much exclusively call her Jess or J. Not sure why I didn't just put Jess in the original comment lol.
  Jesslinda is amazing! She's gonna hate it, it's perfect. Ooh, I like Jessabeth too.
  I forgot all about it, but when we were younger I used to call her random J names for a while. Jeremy was a favorite. Good times.
- You could always throw on a hyphenated middle name. She's no longer Jessica, she's Jessica-Anne.
  I have a short full name, think something along the lines of "Sam Dal" (it's not, but same vibes), a lot of people ask what Sam is short for, but the answer is nothing, my legal name is just Sam. My friends will call me "Samuel Jay Dalford" as running joke. Made additionally funny because it's a masculine name and I'm not a man.
  
  Reminds me of my old coworker Frank. His dad was Fransisco but his parents just went for straight up Frank lmao
