It’s not necessarily a deadname. Even my wife uses my real name, but all my family back home calls me by my childhood nickname. It’s not what I would want my wife to call me, but my mom earned that right decades ago.
Same. I have no problem with people from my past using ‘Danny’ but only if they were adults close to me when I was young. So no, co-workers can not call me that. I explained that in the beginning and they are cool with it.
Hrm, for someone so in tune with the universe, Crystal sure keeps deadnaming Lunker.
Could be that Lunker doesn’t mind her calling him ‘Mel’.
I agree. he even uses it back to her in third person. errr, panel.
I feel like it’s more a nickname vs dead name since Lunker uses it back.
