Men's Names and Nicknames

The names below are common given names and their typical nicknames. Names may have a number of variants, for example, Stephen, Steven, Steve, Stephan, Steffan; Terry, Terrance, Terrence, Terence. Many nicknames are used as given names, for example, Jack as a nickname for John and Jack as a given name in its own right; Harry as a nickname for Henry and Harry as an independent given name.

Use full names and nicknames correctly. If a man introduces himself as Sam, call him Sam, not Samuel. If a man introduces himself as Samuel, call him Samuel, not Sam or Sammy. If he says that his name is Samuel Brown, address him as Mr. Brown until he asks you to call him Sam.

Имена ниже – распространенные имена и их типичные уменьшительные имена. Имена могут иметь ряд вариантов, например, Steven, Stephen, Steve, Stephan, Stefan; Terry, Terrance, Terrence, Terence. Многие уменьшительные имена употребляются как имена, даваемые при рождении, например, Jack как уменьшительное имя для John и Jack как самостоятельное имя; Harry как уменьшительное имя для Henry и Harry как самостоятельное имя.

Употребляйте имена и уменьшительные имена правильно. Если при знакомстве мужчина представляется как Sam, называйте его Sam, а не Samuel. Если мужчина представляется как Samuel, называйте его Samuel, а не Sam или Sammy. Если он говорит, что его имя Samuel Brown, обращайтесь к нему Mr. Brown, пока он не попросит называть его Sam.
