Heh…
When I’m sending e-mails, I’ve got to take a second or two to make sure I have’t signed it “Fenris”.

I introduce myself as Michelle, but I’m pretty well conditioned to turn around when I hear someone say “Mom” - which is odd, since I just have one kid - it’s not like I’m accustomed to multiple young 'uns calling me.

Among others who get addressed by one letter sometimes:
Medea’s Child
purrplebear’s daughter (and purrp herself)
Random NYC dopers when we’re D2ing (“Hey, S, did you need that Silks?” “Sure, J, could you fetch it? Thanks!” “BRB.” “OK, F”).
And yet it was alien to me when M started calling me P…
