I will even add that what you know as nicknames in other countries are deemed as real names here. My first full name is "Francisco de Paula", but in Spain everyone calls me "Paco" (historical reasons and all) the same as with a handful of other names. But the thing is it doesn't have a nickname status but rather these kind of names are used everyday in professional and personal spaces. I also gave up that fight and for everyone internationally I'm Francisco ( heck I even got http://francisco.io/ http://francisco.io/ ). But that is not even so different as many Chineses/Korean/Vietnamese people choose international names as well that differ from their real name.
- speeder 10y agoI am of Portuguese descent (and learned recently I can't become citizen because my Portuguese grandpa died when my father was a child :/) I have two first names, two last names, and filho (means "son"). I have yet to find any system that understand my name properly, even in Brazil where I had official documents with my name butchered in one way or another. (Nevermindt people assuming the last name was literal last name and insisting in calling me Mr. Filho, something that doesn't make sense)
