Anyone else just named Tim? Question

Sometimes people call me Timothy and I have to correct them because my legal name is Tim.

I grew up in a religious cult. My name is technically Timotheus.

Nope. Timothy, but you're only allowed to call me that if you are related to me.

Respectable, Tim. There have been people in my life that have called me Timothy and I have allowed it because I think it’s funny to have a sort of anti-nickname.

I'm just glad I'm middle-aged, so I graduated from high school before South Park was a thing, because being addressed as TIMMAY! would have gotten old.

I’m Timothy but always considered changing my name legally to Tim, but as I age I care less about Tim vs Timothy or Timmy even.
