I was Butterball as a baby, Jo-Jo as a kid, Jo to most of my friends and have been Jo-Anne all my life. I use Ms. in front when required. Emery is the family name of my British-born Dad (Joe), de Klerk is the family name of my Dutch-born Mom (Ans), and Levac is the family name of my husband (Lorin)...
My brother (Glen) was nicknamed Haywire until he was about 15 when he was suitably renamed Gemer after a Slovak beer...
I've always got something on my mind. Once in a while I have a great idea (my ideas are not always good at all so talking about them makes me realize that!), and other times I just want to comment on something I love, like, would've done differently or really didn't like at all.
