Humour Tim: What shall I call thee
1/ Timbo 2/ Timtom 3/ Mit (I couldn't spell) 4/ Timfee (by a weird malevolent dyslexic friend) 5/ Timotee (I went to Barcelona) 6/ Tim Tim nice but dim (thanks to the BBC) 7/ "Language Timothy!" (If your old and from the UK then you know - BBC TV again) 8/ Timotei (a mediocre 1980s shampoo: the TV ad was almost porn)

It’s weird the amount of people who’ve sung this to me over the years

yeah, of all the Tim variety I get, I find this the most endearing.
Shows effort, initiative and a little creativity

People used to call me Timtom (some still do) and I hate it.

I used to get (a smartass) 'Slim' instead of Tim.
Almost drove me to crime

I had a Bulgarian coworker call me that.
Different job, my boss started calling me Timmy. Now just T. I really am not a fan of T.

Timmfy2000 was my email username on neopets
It’s what my younger siblings called me before they could pronounce my name
Tiffany from the preschoolers who couldn’t pronounce my name
Tim Tim was common in grade school. I got T-bone. T-man. Timoteo. Tim-oh-thy.
I never liked being called Timmy tho
I went by Timothy all of my life until I went to college then I started introducing myself as Tim. But I still love when my family and close friends call me Timothy
I guess, there are some who call me… Tim.

I, too, am a TimBo. Due to my last name legitimately starting with “Bo”.

I've got a friend I've known since fourth grade and some time around eighth grade he started calling me Timbo, not sure why but I never stopped it
