I usually wind up with a minor identity crisis whenever I visit the family.....they are the only ones who use my first name - I got sick and tired of people messing it up (as well as some jokes that got old after about 2 minutes in Elementary School), so several years ago I abbreviated my first name and started going by my middle name. So everybody I deal with - from professors to fellow students to employees - calls me "Mike". But not my family.
And no, I'm not going to tell you what my first name is! I'm just going to make do with the minor confusion which accompanies my arrival at Mom & Dad's, as well as my return to school......
