This is damn true
I learned this when I when for a naming ceremony a certain time.
Although I have a good name(I am called Favour at home) which is also my name.
But then, they shortened it to Fe, after that ceremony, I got back home and told everyone to call me by my full name and not shorten it
Lols!
Better to call the one you know its meaning than for you to be called what you don't know.
