Oh yeah. I suspect it's very hard not to be Timmy when you're called Tim. The whole "trying to drop the 'y' part of my name" is probably something a lot of guys go through. I had a good friend in high school I just could not stop thinking of as Danny since I'd first met him as a kid. His guy friends all called him Dan. His family always called him Daniel. To this day I always have to make an effort to say Dan or Daniel--maybe it's his boyish face.
