Does it? I had no idea. ( He does... give him this. ) Honestly, I come from a more formal time and it tends to be harder to break those habits. But, in some - specific cases it may have to do with how close I feel to the person, how much I trust them and think of them as something resembling family or even a friend. And sometimes I just prefer pronouncing one's full name. Wait until I start calling you Timothy Gutterson. All the syllables I'll have to say there.
Nobody calls me Timothy, [ Tim says, although he doesn't sound all that put-out by it; it's kind of a nice feeling, like his full name has somehow become a nickname in and of itself by virtue of Klaus being the only one to use it. ] I was nearly Roy Junior, though, how d'you like the sound of that?
( It has, though. It has, Timothy. ) I like it less. I can't do much with Roy and Junior is accompanied with implications of inadequacy. No, I think Tim Gutterson, Timothy suits you. In truth, I'd call you whatever you wished as it is your name we're discussing. I can't promise to cease calling you Timothy. I could make an effort.
Nah, it's cool, [ Tim says, sitting back in his seat, drumming his fingers on the edge of the table once. ] I don't even hate it, if I'm honest with you. Sounds nice the way you say it.
[ Tim shrugs with his mouth. ] Yeah, I guess that's true. I personally have the gift of makin' everythin' sound like it's been pulled through a hedge backwards.
Nothing could be further from the truth, but, let's let you keep thinking that way. Even though you are farm from a hick. ( And he's complimenting him? )

Is that what you sound like? I quite like how you speak.
