" Callan's quite a cool name though, you have to admit. :D "Actually, as a kid I wasn't that keen on it because it seemed weird to me, even though none of the other kids really gave a shit. These days, though, a lot of people who find out my name's Callan seem to really dig it. So yeah, I actually like having the name now, fer sure.
To save confusion though ("Callum? Calvin?") I usually just tell people my name's Cal. Of course, that'll set some people off and ask what it's short for and I'll go into a whole round of explaining that. I also still have people call me "Cam" or "Carl" when I use the shortened form.
And don't even start me on my surname...
