Is it James or Jimmy or Jim or JimBob? LinkedIn First Names…

Thursday, April 26th, 2012

My name is Jason. I go by Jason.  You can call me Jay (or, "J"), but hardly anyone does.  Rarely I've been called Jase. I don't really care... call me whatever you want.  Most people just call me... Jason. But what about people with names that are commonly nick-named?  William (Bill), Jonathan ...
