Willie, but lots of folk know me as Woody.
I have four kids, each of whose partners, friends etc. know them as Woody.
My wife calls me Willie and my mum calls me William, but only on a Sunday or when I'm in the bad books.

Hah hah hah, snap! My Mum only ever called me James on a Sunday or (more often) if I was in trouble. Otherwise I was Jim.

I was known as Jacky for quite a number of years way back. Jack when living in Kentucky, and no one there knew my real name was Peter. They still call me Jack!
Everyone seems to call me all sorts of names now :(

I started off my career in Construction and Property as an apprentice Quantity Surveyor and there were already five other guys in the firm called various iterations of "William" . There was .....

William, Bill, Billy, Liam, Willie and me.

I was called Brian for 5 years.

I used to work in a pub, (ended up running it) and a customer that came in pretty much every night on his way home from work was welcomed with "Hello Stuart", one night after him drinking there for 12 years he turned up with his wife, who promptly asked "Paul, why do they call you Stuart?"
he explained that the first time he set foot in the pub someone called him Stuart, and as we were all big blokes he didn't feel like he should point out the mistake, and by time he left the pub that night ' Stuart' had discovered new local and group of friends, so the name stuck.

Had a similar experience while working in Copdock in the ‘70’s 4 James’s I got Jamie, then there was Jim, Jimmy and James. I did volunteer for Hamish but it wasn’t appreciated/understood. Most of the time though I was Jock.
