I go by Chuck, for Charles, most of the time. I’m a junior, but my father was always Charlie.

My wife is Susan. Up in our home town, most people call her Sue, but the ones who’ve known her since since she was a little girl call her Susie still. (I usually call her Susie.) Down her, people always call her Susan.

My MIL had 4 brothers who were all known by their middle names to the extent that a lot of people who’ve known them for years don’t realize it.

I have a son, a grandson and a stepson all with the same name. We refer to them as J1, J2 and J3.
