Comments many times make me think of other material that could be added to a post. So , with names , I realized the was much more. Most of it is not important but it's there nonetheless. Some of this has been covered in other posts. My researcher, statistician John, will tell me where it is.
So of course, I received the name Keith, at my birth. I have no idea why I was called Keith. But soon after that I was given the family nickname Grandfather. I was the oldest child and Dad called me grandfather but no one else called me Grandfather.
The next time I received a name was when I started high school. We had a high school of 25-30 kids and a few days after I arrived I was called Pop. I had no idea what was going on and I found the situation stressful. Sometimes it was Pa. When I go back the guys still call me Pop.
My initials are K.C. so for three years I was called Casey.
Two colleagues gave me a name which only they used. One guy called me "Killa" Another colleague always called me Dad. It was a name that I liked as it showed his respect.
So you can see a bit of a thread through these names.
This may explain the Grandfather name as I looked after my brother who is less than a year younger than I am.
The only name that doesn't fit this is when my son called me Boy. He was about a year to two years old. I called him Dad's Big Boy and we think that's why he was using Boy.
I have four other names that only I use. How's this for names: incline, syncline, recline and decline. I use these names for setting up names for some files.
So there you have it. I probably have forgotten a few names. I know you'll ask what the Micro Manager calls me. She has no special name for me
