Hello all, I figured I would make this a poll so I can see the results rather than scroll through many comments (however comments are appreciated also!)
So my name is Richard, I am usually never called Richard, but usually Richie, or Rich.
Personally I prefer Richie, because IMO that is what is fitting of my personality. However I have had two people tell me it was ''unprofessional'' to be referred to as Richie instead of Richard.
One woman who told me was a worker at a label making shop. I am also 21 so maybe there is some age bias. She told me that it was a ''baby name''. If I was mid 40's I wonder if she'd say that.
So anyways, without further adieu, is my nickname(s) Richie/ Rich unprofessional?
